The book provided a user-friendly refresher. And, just as importantly, it helped us all keep a sense of humor during a stressful period.” ---Christie Peck, Parent "The best college counseling book that I have ever read. It truly gets to the essence of what choosing a college is REALLY about." --Dr. Alicia Acey, Adolescent Psychologist “Concise, thorough and powerful. Patrick O’Connor, one of our nation’s giants in the college counseling arena, has hit a grand slam with this guidebook. Frank, honest and fun, the book helps students navigate this sometimes-daunting process without having to, in effect, ‘add another course’ in order to understand its nuances.” ---Raymond Brown, Dean of Admissions, Texas Christian University “Given the contemporary madness which characterizes the college application process, the novice and experienced parent will greatly appreciate the substantial, practical advice contained in this manual.” --Lori Lutz, Parent
