Better than any guidance counselor

My son is a 17 year old High School Junior in a large suburban High School. I found this book while browsing for College information and direction on how to narrow all choices available. This was one of many books I bought as I developed our own library of College Books (Fiske, et al...). I can say without hesitation that this is the one book any parent needs to own. I have read it and re read many times since I bought it last summer. All other books repeat the same information over and over again. Mr. Greene's years of experience provide an uncommon insight and down to earth observations into the College admission process and how to improve your child's chances of being accepted by a competitive school. Not only that , Mr. Greene'sincere concern with making the right choice will open your eyes into options beyond the most competitive schools. He believes there are many choices available and what is important is making the right choice for your child. I recommend this book to any parent involved in the College selection process.

There are literally thousands of books for the college-bound student, whether you are looking for study guides or summaries of America's colleges. I have found that many books repeat the same information over and over, but this is not one of them!THis book provides parents and students with ten detailed steps to approaching the college process, beginning around junior year. Another great choice is the Princton Review's Best 331 Colleges.
