TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS!

“Col­lege Bound has every­thing! The first place I went was how to fig­ure out what to major in. The links to O*NET and the career and major pro­files really helped. Then I used the link to Col­lege Nav­i­ga­tor to match majors with col­leges. Test­ing, essay ideas, ask­ing for let­ters of rec­om­men­da­tion, and find­ing money are all impor­tant top­ics to me. There’s so much in this book. No mat­ter what I needed, I found it in Col­lege Bound! There’s noth­ing else like it.”

Jes­sica - High School Senior – North Carolina

“I learned a lot! Col­lege Bound really helped me under­stand how to fig­ure out exactly what I’ll need to do college-wise until I’m a senior. Even though I’m only a high school Junior, I’m now many steps ahead of oth­ers in my grade, and even some older stu­dents! In Col­lege Bound every­thing I need is just a click away! It’s awesome!”

Michelle - High School Junior — Connecticut

“Col­lege Bound is awe­some! I began my search for a col­lege my junior year when I was inter­ested in play­ing sports at the Divi­sion II or III level and Dr. Hand’s book helped a lot. The step-by-step instruc­tions made the process for a student-athlete easy to under­stand. It also answered all my other ques­tions about vis­its, the inter­views, and the appli­ca­tion process. Thanks, Dr. Hand!”

Gigi Mey­ers - Mother of a Recent Graduate

“It is so refresh­ing to find a guide that takes you from the very begin­ning, from mid­dle school to the accep­tance to col­lege and beyond. Col­lege Bound is well orga­nized, sim­ple to digest, and thor­ough — cov­er­ing all areas from spe­cial inter­ests to gen­eral even­tu­al­i­ties, e.g., Naval Acad­emy to Ivy League schools to state insti­tu­tion infor­ma­tion. Also the links for finan­cial aid and schol­ar­ship infor­ma­tion are absolutely essen­tial to fam­i­lies in this finan­cial cli­mate.  We are very for­tu­nate to have some­one of Dr. Hand’s cal­iber walk­ing us through this com­pli­cated journey!”

Mau­reen G. Mar­tin - Mother to a Senior

“Col­lege Bound has been an amaz­ing resource for our fam­ily! With one child in col­lege and another who will grad­u­ate in two years, this book is a wealth of infor­ma­tion! We are using it to help our daugh­ter pre­pare for get­ting into the right school, and we’re using it to find addi­tional financ­ing for our son. I would have loved to have this book when he was in high school.”

Rose Maire — Mother to a High School Junior and Col­lege Sophomore

TESTIMONIALS FROM EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS!

“This is the ulti­mate guide to the col­lege search process! It is very well researched and infor­ma­tive with an expan­sive list of cur­rent web resources. This guide has every­thing you ever wanted to know about the col­lege appli­ca­tion process with an empha­sis on spe­cial admis­sion top­ics such as stu­dents with dis­abil­i­ties, ben­e­fits of women’s col­leges and diverse pop­u­la­tions, to name a few. After 16 years in the field as an Assis­tant Direc­tor of Admis­sion and High School Col­lege Coun­selor, I can actu­ally say that I learned some­thing new from read­ing the up-to-date, real-time infor­ma­tion Col­lege Bound provides.”

LeP­rêt Dick­in­son Williams - Direc­tor of Diver­sity and Edu­ca­tional Consultant

“Col­lege Bound goes beyond other guide­books in pro­vid­ing an abun­dance of infor­ma­tion about how to afford col­lege, in addi­tion to how to approach the selec­tion process by putting the stu­dent first. This top-notch, time­sav­ing resource helps read­ers move through the maze of web­sites and search engines in a well-organized fash­ion. I would highly rec­om­mend any college-bound stu­dent and par­ent read this guide.”

Dr. Harold Gon­za­les - Pro­fes­sor and Author of If You Are Tak­ing an Online Class, Read This First!

“The Author hits the nail on the head!  Dr. Hand pro­vides invalu­able advice for stu­dents and par­ents in Col­lege Bound. She starts with a time­line and leads you through the entire col­lege search and appli­ca­tion process all the way through find­ing money for col­lege. And for par­ents, she addresses dis­cus­sions every par­ent should have with their child revolv­ing around this tran­si­tion to col­lege life. I’ll be sure to share this thor­ough and com­pre­hen­sive guide with my stu­dents and their families.”

Dr. Teresa Wilburn — Coun­selor, School Admin­is­tra­tor, Col­lege Pro­fes­sor, and Gates Mil­len­nium Schol­ars Consultant

“What a won­der­ful resource for prospec­tive col­lege stu­dents of all ages, as well as for par­ents! If I were plan­ning to go back to school, I would cer­tainly use this tremen­dous resource. The fact that it is an eBook makes it that much eas­ier to use! For mid­dle school and high school stu­dents who are so tech­no­log­i­cally savvy, this makes sense. There is such an abun­dance of resources that I truly believe that you could not have writ­ten a bet­ter title. With Col­lege Bound, how can one not get into the col­lege of his/ her choice! Bravo!”
