Published by Rowman and Littlefield, one of the leading education publishers in the nation, "The Enlightened College Applicant" presents a no-nonsense account of how students should approach the college search and admissions process. Instead of providing recycled entrance statistics or anecdotal generalizations about campus life, our team incorporates cutting-edge data and research to pull back the curtain on critical topics such as:
- Whether college prestige really matters
- How to maximize your college admission prospects
- Which schools and degrees provide the best return on investment
- How to minimize the costs of a college education
- What college-related skills are valued in the job market
- A parent's role in the college admissions process
- And much more
Whether your student is a valedictorian or a B/C student, this easy-to-read book will serve as a college guide for your entire family, enabling you to improve your college savvy while also being able to help you maximize the benefits of your higher education.
