[Beth Cato · Rating 3 out of 5]

I skimmed through this 700+ page tome. If a family was just starting to look into college and post-high school opportunities for their youth, this might prove helpful, but I've already spent hundreds of hours researching the subject online and I found this book didn't offer anything new. As the authors rely on colleges to respond and provide information, it's not even a comprehensive listing, as there are major colleges that are absent and some programs that are not included. The authors did undertake a major effort to update the book in 2021--I can only imagine how brain-draining that was--to update things such as SAT and ACT requirements or if they were optional for the 2021 entry year alone.

Get this book as an initial starting point, but if you already have done groundwork research, then it probably won't aid you further.
