Admission Matters
This is a great overview of the admissions process from start to finish.
The Fiske Guide to Colleges
One of the “big books” with profiles of more than 350 colleges and an excellent reference.
Colleges That Change Lives
This is a fantastic book that will get kids and parents thinking about schools that they probably haven’t considered yet.
Crazy U
This is a funny, informative book that you will love reading. It’s a bit dated now as it was published in 2011 but it’s still worth the read.
The Naked Roommate
This book should be a gift for every college-bound graduating senior. There is so much marketing that many kids think they will be going to paradise and don’t realize there may be an adjustment period.
Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be
A great book showing kids and parents that success depends on hard work, persistence, and determination, and not the name of the college you attend. It’s a dose of sanity in the high pressure world of college admissions.
The Fair Opportunity Project
Free downloable guide put together by two Harvard Students.
