Product Review

The college and financial aid planning process can be a confusing puzzle. This book helps families bring all of the pieces together. If I knew then, what I know now, is a true story of one mother's struggle to find help with putting all of the pieces of the college search, financial aid, scholarships, athletics, extracurricular activities, together. Through trial and error she learns how to help her children with the process. The book was written to help parents and students with early college awareness. College and especially financial planning for college should start as early in a child's life as possible. Understanding that parents are extremely busy, this book has been kept short, simple and to the point.

This review is from: If I Knew Then, What I Know Now! College and Financial Aid Planning From A Parent's Perspective (Hardcover)

As a college admissions professional, I have read many books and written one myself, so I am always looking for other books that will make the college selection and planning process easier for parents and children alike. This was a great book that brought together the great experience of the author with practical tips that can help many parents to de-mystify the college preparation process. There are some wonderful hidden gems within the book, and what is best is that the book itself is short and to the point so you are not having to sift through 300-400 pages trying to find exactly what you need, but instead the book is laid out in an easy to follow and understand way that makes perfect sense! All-in-all this was a great book for anyone looking to start the college planning process.
