This review is from: The College Board Getting Financial Aid 2008 (College Board Guide to Getting Financial Aid) (Paperback)

The book was not as useful as I thought it would be. the book does have some well written information about financial aide, but 80% of the book is usually writing fluff. I would not recommend buying this book.
