After nearly twenty years of experience working with high school students on their college applications, the author uses her students' true stories to help demystify the admissions process and encourage teenagers to live more authentic lives in high school. Courtney Pinto has filled her book with honest advice and reassuring outcomes for any parents worried about their children's journeys through high school, especially as it relates to the stress of applying to college during senior year. The guidance offered in this book can bring relief to parents who feel confused or worried about how to best approach the subject of college admissions with their children. Teenagers who were born into the college pipeline have grown up with the assumption that they will attend college. For this population, high school seems to have simply become a means to an end in gaining admission to the "best" college. These kids are exhausting themselves trying to present a perfect combination of résumés highlights and academic successes because they have been repeatedly told that if they do all of this just right, they will get accepted at the top colleges in the country. Unfortunately, these kids don't understand just how stacked against them the college admissions odds are. Nor do they recognize how lucky they are to have such a wide variety of college choices given that too many students are focused on the same schools. This book is designed to help parents rethink all the stress their children are taking on while navigating high school and applying for college. With suggestions for how to help your child make authentic choices and clear advice on managing the world of college admissions, parents can rely on this text as a partner from the freshman year of high school through matriculation into college. Formatted as an easy-to-read guide with real-world examples, the book covers important topics such as: *The balance between high school success and personal well-being*A student's role in applying to schools and succeeding at college*Behind-the-scenes information on how college admissions decisions are made*Tips on staying competitive for elite college admissions*Alternative paths for students seeking more individualized college experiences*A basic overview of the financial aid process, including how to maximize your student's potential for receiving merit scholarships

Named one of the Top 2023 College Admissions Resources by Forbes Featured on NPR as "Book of the Day" and on Marketplace "Game changer, and long overdue"—Angel B. Pérez, CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling Finding the right college is a challenge for all students, but Black families face additional challenges and questions when navigating the admissions process. Veteran admissions experts Timothy L. Fields and Shereem Herndon-Brown demystify this complexity by advising families on when to begin the process, where to apply, and how to be a competitive applicant. Fields and Herndon-Brown address specific concerns that are not often addressed by school counselors or other resources. They highlight how recent social justice movements and legal cases have amplified the necessity of considering both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and predominantly white institutions, while covering everything from athletic recruitment and artistic talents to financial aid and step-by-step instructions for how to search for colleges and then apply to them. The second edition includes new chapters on • prioritizing students' and parents' mental health, • understanding the influence of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT on college essay writing, • reviewing recent Supreme Court decisions about race-conscious admission and their likely impact on Black applicants, and • navigating the admission process as a transfer applicant. A list of the best colleges for Black students, a glossary of terms, a list of notable Black college graduates and their alma maters, a suggested reading list, and an FAQ section round out the guide. Having worked on both sides of the desk—as school counselors and as college admissions gatekeepers—Fields and Herndon-Brown are well equipped to give parents, students, and school counselors the information and inspiration to research a variety of schools, understand their choices, and define success on their own terms.
