Certified educational planner Dr. Jana Lynn guides students through a 16-step action plan in this two-volume series on choosing a college and navigating the admissions process. A fast-paced presentation that packs a lot of information into a short amount of time, An Educated Choice helps students crystallize their reasons for going to college, draft a list of potential schools, create an admissions profile highlighting their best qualities, work through the application process, submit a good essay, and weigh financial aid options. Filmed on location at over a dozen campuses from around the country--a mix of small colleges and major universities--the program interviews numerous students who talk about the factors they weighed when choosing a school. Although geared for high school juniors and seniors, the information presented here would also be helpful for adults considering college. A discussion leader's guide and student workbook is included, with additional student workbooks available for $14.95 each (or $99.95 for a set of 10), although the video stands alone, making this an excellent choice for both high school media centers and public libraries. Highly recommended. Aud: H, P. (L. Stevens)
