Abstract

The Bound-for-College Guidebook is a step-by-step guide to the student transition from high school to postsecondary education, including the self-awareness, exploration, goal-setting, decision-making, application and enrollment stages that must be successfully navigated to ensure the best results. This edition addresses the recent changes and adjustments that have been made in the college admission process, as well as those that have occurred as a result of the Varsity Blues Admission Scandal and forced by the coronavirus pandemic.
