Every year it seems that the college admissions process becomes more cutthroat, with competition built around critical early decisions, prep courses, and necessary financial aid packages—all of which can be overwhelming for the average teen (not to mention his or her parents!). This excellent, information-packed program helps viewers plot a course for getting into a good college, which requires a lot of effort and self-motivation, but pays off for those who carefully plan their strategies. From choosing coursework to campus tours, How to Get Into the College of Your Choice takes viewers through the entire process, offering practical advice and adding a personal feel to the discussion through interviews with three recent high school graduates, a dean of admissions, and a high school guidance counselor. Highly recommended. Aud: H, P. (E. Gieschen)
