Detailed and helpful

A great book to start the admissions process. Especially for us who didn’t know how. The author made a motivating and thorough guide to take the stress level down. I wish I had the pdf to follow along and take notes!

So many things I did not know

It is so much better to be prepared when applying for college. There's a saying that you don't know what you don't know. This covered everything I wanted to know and then some. I particularly liked the part where we are advised to not bring our parents. They need to get to know us as individuals. This was well thought out and very helpful in a practical way. Also, learning the 11 things to avoid could make the difference between being admitted and not being admitted to college. But more than anything else this gives us the confidence to know what to expect and how to conduct ourselves. This is a very helpful book.

Very, very helpful

The first thing that caught my eye about this book was the chapter titles. I knew if nothing else, I would enjoy the book. Turns out I both enjoyed it and found it helpful. My daughter will be applying for college in a year. Needless to say, we have started preparing and when that topic comes up, you never know what mood she'll be in. Listening to this book together gave us some peace knowing that the application process maybe rigorous, but it doesn't have to suck the life out of you. Thank you so much for this book.

Makes a very stressful process manageable

The author assists the reader in making what is often a very stressful process manageable. I really appreciate the easy to follow steps outlined. This book will assist students, parents and counselors through the whole application process. Easy to read and well worth it.

Great resource for any student

I wish this audiobook was available when I graduated High school. As the author points out, not everyone may decide to go to college but if you do this book will guide you on making a clear decision. The author also highlights 11 mistakes you should avoid when applying to college.

powerful tool for college prep

I wish I had this book a few years ago when I was applying to colleges. This book breaks the process into bits and shows just about everything needed for success. It's a book to listen to and take notes and then listen again. Indeed a powerful tool for college application prep, indeed.

Easy Admission

A wonderful guide! I'm about to submit an application for admission to a college, but I had no idea what criteria were necessary. I learned a lot about how to acquire admission by using this book's tips and tricks. If you're currently in a position where you're trying to get accepted into your dream college, take the time and buy this book.

Excellent Guidebook to College

I highly recommend this book! This is a great resource for those moving into the next phase of their lives: college. The author covers serval topics at length such as college apps, test prep, essay writing and finances. The book is easy to follow and has great content. This is a must listen.

Love it!

Excellent resource! I got it for a relative who is moving on to college in the near future. I would have loved to have this when I was still in high school and now I see that it should be sold in every school for their students to be well informed! It really goes in-depth on many topics a college student will face such as test preparations, applications, even finances. The narration was done well and clearly presents the content in a good pace so it is simple to follow along to. Highly recommended to future high school graduates to expect challenges and cope with the stress of college. 5 stars!
