College Prep 101 is a handbook for those involved in the process of
selecting, applying to and enrolling in college. It's an excellent
resource for students, parents, and educators alike, and no high
school library or counseling office should be without a copy.
Readers are walked through each step of the college application and
selection process, from planning for college to college visits, and
choosing a college to college entrance exams. Checklists are
provided for each year of high school, listing the important steps
to take each year, and there's even a list of items to pack and
take to college when the time comes. Finances feature prominently
within the pages, as the chapter entitled College and Money
provides direction through both applying for scholarships and the
financial aid process. In addition, decision making and
prioritizing are discussed as bases for spending decisions while
the student is actually in college. Millis' second title, "How to
Go to College Cheaper" goes into great detail on this topic. The
transition from high school to college is also discussed, including
extensive coverage of study skills and time management. Students
are encouraged to find their own system or style of studying
through answering six simple questions and using whichever of the
suggested strategies are most effective for them. Organization,
prioritization, and decision making are discussed as the basis for
effective time management - a skill many college students struggle
with. Parents too will find information written specifically for
them inside, with their own list of 'must-do' items, a chapter
detailing how they can help their student through this process (and
deal with it themselves), and specific suggestions hi-lighted
throughout the book. The book's thirteen chapters cover all the
bases without boring the reader with unnecessary text. It is
written in a straight-forward, conversational style that is easy to
read, and the numerous lists provide excellent resources you'll
refer to again and again.
