As a professional interested in helping teens get their maximum potential out of the pre-college experience, I found this book to be most helpful and timely. Whether you're a high school student who is just beginning to think about college or a parent who is confused about all the new procedures and time tables, this book will guide and inspire you throughout the entire process. With expert information, a great, reader-friendly layout, and lots of practical advice, this book is the only resource you'll ever need to navigate the waters of the college admissions process!

I recommend this book for all of my students who are planning to attend college. The book is comprehensive, easy to follow, and unlike other books on college it has handy examples of sample resumes, worksheets for listing college visits and contacts, sample questions for interviews, timelines for scholarships and applications, and a sample of a thank you note for recommendations. The book is easy to follow and is based on Mrs. VonGruben's own personal experiences with her children. The college industry has become a big business and wise students and parents need to explore all options. This book will help them to know when to begin the college planning process, how to go about it, and enable students and parents to make wise decisions regarding college.

VonGruben crafts a must read for any graduating high school student or high school parent. From Financial Aid to Admissions, this is an invaluable tool. Hats off to VonGruben!

Omg...very detailed. Does give an incredible breakdown of the process and the best way to proceed.
