From an Ivy League dean and a college admissions expert, a guide to
help parents support their children as they navigate their way to
college The College Conversation is a comprehensive resource for
mapping the path through the college application process that
provides practical advice and reassurance to keep both anxious
parents and confused children sane and grounded. Rather than adding
to the existing canon of "How to Get In" college guides or
rankings, Eric Furda and Jacques Steinberg provide a step-by-step
approach to having the tough conversations on this topic with less
stress and more success. The book is organized around key
discussions and themes that trace the chronological arc of
admissions and financial aid--beginning before the assembly of a
list of potential colleges and continuing through the receipt of
decisions--with a final section that includes advice on the first
year of college. The topics include preliminary conversations about
the search, and specifically how parents can think about their
children's interests and what kind of college would best suit them;
choosing a college (based on its curriculum, culture, and
community); writing the most effective essays; assessing
acceptances, including considerations of finances and aid; and
making the transition from high school to college life. The College
Conversation will provide parents, students, and counselors with
the credible, level-headed information often missing in this
process, as well as a much-needed dash of perspective borne of
experience.
