Book Reviews of Fiske Guide to Getting Into the Right College, 3E (Fiske Guide to Getting Into the Right College)
Book Review: Fiske Guide to getting into the right college
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives an excellent overview of the college process from searching, interviewing, evaluating to financial aid. Very valuable is the "One hour college search" chapter which exposed us to many great colleges that we were not familiar with. I had checked this out from the library and then bought my own copy as it's definitely a great resource. If I only could read one book, this would be it. My college bound daughter will benefit from reading it.
