BellaOnline Forums Education Colleges The New Rules of College Admissions

I first reviewed The New Rules of College Admissions when I was working as a high school counselor. At the time, I was looking for helpful college planning resources for students and parents. I have often referred to this resource. Over the years, it has become one of my favorite books on preparing for college admissions. Toe see the complete review, visit the Colleges site at Rules of College Admissions.

Very good article. I'll have to get it in a couple of years when my oldest reaches that point.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked the article. Let me know if you have any questions about preparing for college, and I will do my best to help.

While I don't think anyone "needs" to buy this book until they have a child in middle school or high school, it is never too early to prepare for college. Students need to start seriously preparing in middle school. (Of course, college preparation can be done without purchasing any book -- it is just sometimes nice to have.)

There are activities for children of all ages to help them start planning for their futures. Simple things like introducing children to new and different careers, visiting college campuses, children's books or coloring books about careers, discussing the topic of college or future jobs are all helpful in helping kids think about about there futures.

I just added a better image to the article.
