--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-While many students believe a stellar academic performance may be needed to charm the admissions dean, the message of this straightforward guide is actually to "personalize the process" as much as possible. Deans are interested in "the numbers," meaning test scores, but second to that is "character and strength of person." Special interests are taken into account. Myths about the importance of test scores are dispelled, or at least put into perspective. Parents are advised not to spend money on expensive private consultants but rather to continue to let their child "practice the cello or collect model World War II tanks." Self-assessment is stressed, and a beginning chapter poses frank questions for readers to ask themselves. The author's strength is in communicating with teenagers in a friendly, conversational style, with anecdotal commentary based on experience. Nitty-gritty details about the application process are included, and there are sections for Americans abroad and international, transfer, and gay students.

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Booklist Mitchell has a Web site, but readers won't find much on scholarship applications. That's not to say she's not concerned about costs: she devotes a whole chapter to finances. But her upbeat, well-organized book (and her site) are more about getting in than getting by. She draws on many years of counseling devoted to helping give college-bound teens confidence and a say of their own in the selection process. She includes a broad range of information--on selection, testing, applying--all the while emphasizing the necessity for personalizing the process, whether that means getting to know a high-school counselor, shaking hands with college reps, or writing an honest application essay. It's a fine combination of solid advice and good sense, both of which will come in handy for teens and their families (parents get one chapter) during the stressful times.
