This book includes
everything you need to know about higher education, from SAT testing to
choosing the right college or university, and it can be read in middle school or when
one enters high school. It will help the student begin to think about
higher
education and the choices one must
make you in selecting the best school for the individual.
So before choosing a college or university, you should check
this book out and see how the process works.
In this book you will find different articles on how to choose a school after high school. The first article is about the SAT scores and how they may affect one’s choices of schools. It also covers the process you need to follow to prepare yourself for college. This book gives high-school students thinking of college an overview of the process, things to consider, lists of things to do, searching for schools that will be a good fit, and many tips to consider before choosing your school. For example, before you visit any school, you should read up on the basic information about it, the majors it offers, what kind of scholarships are available, and what kinds of extracurricular activities they have. In fact, the more informed you are, the better prepared you will be to ask the right questions to determine if this is the school for you. If you are an athlete, you should make sure the school of your choice offers your sport; if you are interested in the arts, make sure they have a good arts program. Ultimately, if you go to your visit prepared, you will be able to choose the school you want. The book includes an appendix, ready-reference facts, a section on financial aid, a list of organizations to contact, and an index.
