College advisors Anne St.Pierre and Danielle Printz published “The Simple Guide to College Admission & Financial Aid” with one goal in mind: to give high school students and their parents an easy to use resource to steer them through the complicated college admission and financial aid process.

“I’ve been surprised to find again and again that the biggest stumbling block for students going to college is not necessarily the rising cost of tuition, but a fear of how to navigate the complicated college admission and financial aid processes,” said St.Pierre, who has been advising students since 1993. “Many students are tempted to quit before they even get started.”

St. Pierre and Printz know first hand how intimidating the process can be; both were the first in their family to go to college.

“That experience is what inspired me to become a college advisor,” continued St. Pierre. “And this

book is the culmination of over a decade of experience helping high school students achieve their higher education goals.”

According to a special study released earlier this year by the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, millions of students and adult learners who aspire to college are overwhelmed by the complexity of the student financial aid process.

What sets this book apart is that it provides much more information than other resource guides – especially when it comes to financial aid information. “Resources from college selection to completing financial aid forms, to what to expect as a college student make this guide a must in everyone’s backpack, noted Marcia Weston, Director of College Goal Sunday Operations with the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, in Washington, DC. “It’s an excellent resource.”

“The Simple Guide to College Admission & Financial Aid” contains a lot of information most families are unaware of, such as: how to save money on costly college application fees, successfully complete financial aid forms including the FAFSA, maximize college financial aid awards, and find the right scholarships.

A Hachette Kindle book.Plenty of college admission guides promise to help students crack the Ivy League, but few of these have detailed knowledge to back up their advice. Michele Hernandez, on the other hand, is the ultimate insider. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Dartmouth College, she also worked as Dartmouth’s assistant director of admissions for four years. In A Is for Admissions, Hernandez describes the step-by-step process Ivy League schools use to evaluate an application. Along the way she settles some ancient debates, including the comparative importance of SATs versus high-school grades, public versus private high schools, and extracurricular activities versus part-time employment. She evaluates every possible factor affecting chances for admission, including special categories of students such as recruited athletes, minority applicants, and legacies. Most dramatically, Hernandez reveals the precise mathematical formula used by admissions officers to rank applicants. Using her guidelines, readers can calculate their own AI (Academic Index) and–should their scores come up short–learn ways to compensate in other areas.

Refreshingly, Hernandez helps would-be Ivy Leaguers keep their goals in perspective. She strongly advises against “grade grubbing” or “working for the grade.” If you think attending a top college is the key to success, Hernandez cautions that the Ivies may not be for you. “If your goal is to make money, but you don’t enjoy studying or reading, don’t waste your time by trying to get into an Ivy League or highly selective college…. The beauty of an Ivy League/highly selective education lies in the intellectual atmosphere…. It does not lie in the prestige of having a diploma from Princeton or Dartmouth on your wall.” Levelheaded and clearly written, A Is for Admission is the perfect guide for the student (or parent) who has his eyes set on the stars.
