About this title

Synopsis

Provides information on the college admissions process, discussing how to pick a school, financial planning, education alternatives, transfers, and special needs

Reviews

Grade 9 Up?Well-written, pleasant to read, and competently organized, this guide's outstanding feature is its timeliness. Terms such as "virtual university," "online database searches," "computerized applications," "World Wide Web page," and "on-campus ATMs" bring the subject of college admissions into the real world of the late 1990s. Beginning with "Where to Begin," the author gives advice on selecting a school and takes students through the college-admissions process, offering helpful tips for early planners. The importance of and best preparation for the Scholastic Assessment Test and American College Test are addressed. The benefits of campus visits are stressed with advice on what to look for in such a preview. Pertinent information is included on how the 1992 Americans with Disabilities Act can affect students with special needs. Average-quality black-and-white photos appear throughout. Helpful items are appended, including planning forms, sample letters, timetables, and reading lists. A valuable addition that updates guides such as Harlow G. Unger's A Student' Guide to College Admissions (Facts on File).?Diane P. Tuccillo, Mesa Public Library, AZ
