Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first-of-its-kind strategy guide for current high school students and anyone else who plans to attend a public university, students get the know-how they need to tackle college the smart way--before they even set foot on campus.With the ratio of students to academic advisors at public universities averaging around 300:1, new college students can't expect much help on campus with academic planning. It's critical for them to arrive for their first semester with the know-how they need to navigate college successfully on their own. But they usually don't.Numerous resources exist to help students gain admission to college, but managing the transition from high school to college is a different story. Until now, it's been largely up to students to figure out the rules of college academics through trial and error after college begins. As a result, many students make serious mistakes in their academic decisions that hurt their GPAs, prevent them from graduating on time, increase college costs, and limit their opportunities during and after college.Acing the Public University tackles head-on the crisis of inadequate academic advising for public university students. It shows public-university-bound students in a do-it-yourself, paint-by-numbers manner how to be their own academic advisors.First, students get the background knowledge they need to navigate college academics successfully by themselves. They learn the ins and outs of college-level grading, how degree plans are structured, the different ways to fulfill degree requirements, how to "professor shop," and much more. The book then sets out step-by-step, easy-to-follow strategies that students can use to develop a custom-tailored college completion game plan and select courses.In the course of Acing the Public University's 250+ pages, students get the tools they need to make smart academic planning decisions on their own. After acting on what they learn in the book, they can start college with a game plan and on track to maximize their GPAs, graduate on time, complete college more cost-effectively, and use college as the springboard to the future they want.
