Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents of growing children soon realize that it’s never too early to start planning for a child’s academic success. The middle school years are typically the time when both parents and students begin thinking about college. Even so, this book’s author advises parents not to become too college-focused too early in their child’s life. Important decisions should be made based on the child’s needs and interests, emphasizing the value of middle school years as each child’s personal experience, rather than as a stepping stone toward higher education. Following these introductory sections, the author goes on to explain the many kinds of college options available for students having different interests and aptitudes. She then discusses the search and application process in detail. Succeeding chapters focus on pre-college academic planning, developing a child’s study skills, coping with standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT, understanding the importance of nonacademic activities in a student’s life, and employing methods to compensate for a student’s learning differences. A final chapter offers advice on covering college costs. Here is a valuable guide that helps parents separate myth from reality as they prepare their son or daughter for the college experience.

Download or read book The Early Admissions Game written by Christopher Avery and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, hundreds of thousands of high school seniors compete in a game they’ll play only once, whose rules they do not fully understand, yet whose consequences are enormous. The game is college admissions, and applying early to an elite school is one way to win. But the early admissions process is enigmatic and flawed. It can easily lead students toward hasty or misinformed decisions. This book—based on the careful examination of more than 500,000 college applications to fourteen elite colleges and hundreds of interviews with students, counselors, and admissions officers—provides an extraordinarily thorough analysis of early admissions. In clear language it details the advantages and pitfalls of applying early as it provides a map for students and parents to navigate the process. Unlike college admissions guides, The Early Admissions Game reveals the realities of early applications, how they work and what effects they have. The authors frankly assess early applications. Applying early is not for everyone, but it will improve—sometimes double, even triple—the chances of being admitted to a prestigious college. An early decision program can greatly enhance a college’s reputation by skewing statistics, such as selectivity, average SAT scores, or percentage of admitted applicants who matriculate. But these gains come at the expense of distorting applicants’ decisions and providing disparate treatment of students who apply early and regular admissions. The system, in short, is unfair, and the authors make recommendations for improvement. The Early Admissions Game is sure to be the definitive work on the subject. It is must reading for admissions officers, guidance counselors, and high school seniors and their parents.
