COLLEGE COUNSELORS PRAISE STUDENT HELP BOOK

COLLEGE COUNSELORS PRAISE STUDENT HELP BOOK

A college counselor writes: In a refreshing departure from the "Secrets of...", "Beat the System...", "Playing the Game" hysteria and hype surrounding the college search and admission process, this engaging, readable book brings the reader back to the student-centered task of finding a match between student and college. Each chapter, limited to a length (600 words or less) that does not exceed the attention span of many high schoolers, offers sound, practical advice in a witty, conversational tone. There are no promises of shortcuts, no guarantees of gaining a competitive edge - just down-to-earth advice and encouragement. Though originally written for students at one school, students (and parents) everywhere will find valuable information to guide them through their college search.

Another college counselor writes: This small book is packed with good information about college selection. Written with wit and wisdom the author - an experienced college counselor - offers short, insightful advice on many topics from test prep to college visits. The reader will enjoy his relaxed, humorous approach to this often stressful process.

A college counselor who is a parent writes: This is a must have for every high school counseling office and every family with a student in the college search process. The author captures your attention with practical, succinct suggestions on the process of searching for the right college and then the following through with the application. He leads students, parents and even veteran college counselors through a step-by-step process to look at the college search and application process as a whole. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a high school age student in their world!
