图书简介
The fifth edition of Admission Matters will be the most current book on the rapidly changing college admissions process--with every chapter updated--explaining what has changed, where to apply, how to craft a strong application package (including the personal statement), what colleges look for, how financial aid works, new developments in standardized testing, implications of changes in early decision programs, and more--a must read for stressed-out parents and their college-bound teens. Special attention is being paid to how to seek financial aid during a down economy when loan money is tight. Admission Matters addresses the entire spectrum of applicants, from those who attend well-funded public and private schools with excellent college guidance programs, to students who attend schools that provide very limited help. Guidance for homeschooled students is also included in the revised edition. This book will help all students who want to pursue a four-year college degree--those seeking admission to selective colleges, and well as those seeking admission to less competitive colleges. It gives students who lack ready access to information the leg up they need to be competitive, and offers insight and valuable perspectives to even the most well-prepared families. Admission Matters offers sensible advice and real data to counter the daunting new stories and hype about getting into college.
