* Which schools do guidance counselors across the country recommend to their most academically competitive students?

* Which schools provide their application online so you can apply through their Web site?

* Which schools encourage students to have their own PCs so they can take advantage of such perks as online class registration? And which schools provide students with PCs of their own?

Hundreds of guidance counselors from all over the country responded to a special survey conducted by Kaplan. The results offer valuable information you need to know as you select a school.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Are you ready for one of the most important decisions of your life? Pick up the Kaplan Newsweek College Catalog 2000 Edition and get a leg up on the competition. You'll find a wealth of information on how to narrow down your choice from the hundreds of schools out there, recommendations for top schools in terms of academics, sports, extracurriculars, and other areas, hints on getting into the school of your choice, and much more. As this is the information age, there are plenty of online resources included, and as most colleges have their own sites, you can always use the Catalog as an informative index and then visit them firsthand.

But the meat of the book--the listings--are worthwhile on their own. About 1,000 different colleges and universities are listed, with easy-to-read information on tuition, population, and selectivity, as well as details on student life, admissions, and postgraduate work condensed to one or two pages. Additional comments from counselors highlight particularly strong programs or features that will appeal to select students, and the strong indexing makes finding the right school for you a cinch. Of course, getting in is still up to you, as is paying for it, but getting there is half the fun. --Rob Lightner
