8 First Choices: An Expert's Strategies for Getting into College - Softcover

I have had 100 years of experience in public schools of Connecticut, private schools in New Jersey and the Nightingale-Bamford School in NYC, this guide offers insight into the college admissions process and allows students to choose the schools that are right for them.  Students leave college because they don't fit in.  Finding the right match in campus culture is crucial for that match.  8 First Choices teaches students and families how to research what's out there in America's 2,600 colleges and universities.  Joyce Slayton Mitchell, 2013

Written within an educational framework, this college guide offers general guidance to help students do a self-assessment and select the top eight colleges that are the strongest fit for them. Establishing readers as anthropologists, students will learn to observe 20 campus cultures, assess each one, and research their options in American higher education. Additionally, it offers several basic assumptions that are contrary to common knowledge about getting into college. Written by a college counselor with decades of experience, 8 First Choices is the #1 process guide on the market.
