The Truth about College Admission: A Family Guide to Getting In and Staying Together

Description:

Updated and completely revised, the ultimate family guide to managing a college search in a positive way.

Is your family just starting to think about visiting colleges? Maybe you are in the throes of the college search, feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. Miss a deadline? Should you be looking in-state or out-of-state, big school or small? How do you pay for it, and what is a "FAFSA" anyway?

The Truth about College Admission is the easy-to-follow, comprehensive, go-to guide for families. Brennan Barnard and Rick Clark―with combined decades of experience and insight from both the high school and university sides of the process―provide critical advice, thoughtful strategies, helpful direction, and invaluable reassurance during the long and often bewildering college admission journey. This book covers every important step: searching for colleges, creating a list of prospective schools, weighing financial considerations, crafting an application, learning what schools are looking for academically and outside the classroom, and understanding how colleges decide whom to accept. Helpful sections like "Try This," "Talk About This," and "Check In," and "Extra Credit" show your family how to have open and balanced conversations to keep everyone on the same page, feeling less stressed, and actually enjoying the adventure together.

This completely revised second edition includes new information on affordability and aid that addresses important financial considerations. It also explores changes in standardized testing and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Truth about College Admission is the practical and inspiring guidebook your family needs, an essential companion on the path toward acceptance to college.

Review

At last, a book about the college admission process that doesn't promise secret tips for admission (hint--there are none!) but instead provides advice from two respected and experienced professionals. If families are looking for how to manage the college admission process in an ethical, thoughtful, student-centered way, this book provides an important road map written in a way that even the most reluctant student will find engaging.
--Thyra L. Briggs, Vice President for Admission and Financial Aid, Harvey Mudd College

Honest, insightful, and practical. Barnard and Clark give straightforward guidance to families working to make sense of an ever-changing higher education landscape. Their experiences and reflections provide organization to a process that can feel, at times, overwhelming.
--Erica Sanders, Director of Undergraduate Admissions, University of Michigan

In a time when the college admission process seems fraught with mystery, anxiety, and competitiveness, this book achieves something most college guides don't: it balances the why with the how. The authors guide students and families through the deeper questions of why they want to go to college and what they hope to achieve. They then demystify the process and provide tactical and solutions-driven support for a student's journey to higher education. If you are looking for a book to help you navigate the admission process with passion and purpose, this is the one.
--Dr. Angel B. Pérez, CEO, National Association for College Admission Counseling

THE admission guidebook for families that will take them through the entire college admissions process.
