Do you find the shelves of college admissions books at your local Borders overwhelming? We did. Some years ago, when our daughter was in Middle School, we started looking for information about the college admissions process. There’s no shortage of information out there. The problem is knowing where to start.

Take the First Step

Our tips booklet is designed to be the first step of many that you will need to take on the road from high school to college. It is an overview of the whole application process that will help you understand what is involved. The eleven areas we have chosen to highlight are a starting point on your journey.

We know first-hand what is involved in fully understanding all the options you face today. We helped our own daughter enroll in a selective East Coast college. Our son is just starting high school and has quite an adventure ahead. The tips in our booklet are based on the very practical information we found most useful in our own family. We started talking to our kids about college in middle school. Choices they made then affected where they eventually ended their journey.

Take the Next Step

There are many excellent books on all aspects of the admissions process. If you are truly serious about getting admitted to college, you or your parents will have to invest the time to read many of them. Plus go online and research schools. Plus make college visits and do campus tours.

Before you begin what will be a long and expensive process we urge you to look at the 10 free tips we offer. If you like what you see, make the investment and buy our booklet. In 24 short pages you’ll find 110 tips for applying to any kind of college, from the most selective to your local state college. This is the booklet we wish that we had when we were first trying to sort things out. For less than the price of a couple of grande non-fat lattes you can benefit from the many years of practical research we’ve done. Written from a parents perspective.

Our booklet is the first steps in your college application process. A good place for you to start.

We wish you luck,

Sandra and Ian Griffin
