Suggested Reading about the College Application Process

Good books give you helpful perspectives and food for thought on how

to approach the college process. The not-so-good ones use scare tactics

and lingo to convince you they know something no one else does about

beating the admissions “game.”

Colleges That Change Lives, Loren Pope

Less Stress, More Success, Kenneth Ginsburg and

Marilee Jones

The Gatekeepers, Jacques Steinberg

Building Resilience in Children and Teens, Kenneth

Ginsburg

College guides (such as Princeton Review, Yale Daily

News, and Fiske) are great too…just use them as a

starting point of exploration rather than the final

verdict on a particular place.

College is a Journey, Not a Destination

This is a fabulous article to share with your child who will be graduating in just 10 short months. It is a quick read. It was written by Martha O’Connell, the executive director of Colleges That Change Lives, a nonprofit organization that focuses on a student-centered college search process. Enjoy!
