Description

A comprehensive text and proven strategies for developing a comprehensive 4-year high school plan to maximize a student’s college admission and scholarship opportunities. Students are guided through a step-by-step process that begins with the end in mind, i.e., where a student wants to attend college and the amount of financial aid a student requires to avoid student loans. Students learn how to develop the right course schedule of academic and elective classes to maximize their gifts and talents; how to identify extracurricular activities and leadership opportunities that will make them a competitive college and scholarship candidate; how to maximize local opportunities to develop their gifts and talents into their ‘hook’; the importance of maximizing summer enrichment opportunities; how to develop the personal qualities that distinguish themselves in the applicant pool; and how to focus their college admissions so that they have ‘the right voice in the room.’

The strategies contained in this book have helped thousands of students gain admission into top colleges and earn millions of dollars in merit- and need-based financial aid and scholarships.

This book is a must read for any high school student planning to attend college.
