I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley。This book is a great resource for high school students who are thinking about college。 Getting into the "best" college really means getting into the "best" college for a particular student。 The book includes questions for introspection and activities to help students understand who they are and what direction they want to follow。 There are a lot of good ideas in the book。It is also a valuable tool for parents， teachers， guidance counselors， or others I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley。This book is a great resource for high school students who are thinking about college。 Getting into the "best" college really means getting into the "best" college for a particular student。 The book includes questions for introspection and activities to help students understand who they are and what direction they want to follow。 There are a lot of good ideas in the book。It is also a valuable tool for parents， teachers， guidance counselors， or others involved with the college selection/admission process。 。。。more

I recieved an advanced readers copy to read and review。 Even though I am an adult， and I am not in high school applying to colleges， I am looking to go to college and do what I could not right after college due to life issues。 Anyway， this book breaks down what you should be exploring and how to make use of the best resource you have， yourself。 I found the activities and the stories and reflection questions extremely helpful。 This book is definately a resource many people can make use of。

As a parent of a student who had high ambitions to get into an elite college， Dr。 Aviva’s guidance and advice was priceless。 He got in， and is thriving！

If you are helping someone （son， daughter， friend） get into college or will be soon， you MUST read this book。 It is written by an authority who integrates personal experience into the process。 As a college professor， I know how important it is for students to find a "cultural fit" with the institution。 College is an investment so you want to make the best decision possible。 And I believe the college experience is better if you don't transfer。 Invest the time up front to do the homework。 This boo If you are helping someone （son， daughter， friend） get into college or will be soon， you MUST read this book。 It is written by an authority who integrates personal experience into the process。 As a college professor， I know how important it is for students to find a "cultural fit" with the institution。 College is an investment so you want to make the best decision possible。 And I believe the college experience is better if you don't transfer。 Invest the time up front to do the homework。 This book starts the journey to be a better destination than if you leave it up to chance or luck。 。。。more
