A MUST read for parents with a child approaching college or for any student getting ready for college. An easy to read book loaded with information that will prove to be invaluable. Don't get caught up in the "my child attends (insert some prestigious college name here)" syndrome. Do your research and this book will guide you every step of the way by provding factual information and debunking the myths. Well worth the price and investment in time to read Buy it?

If you or your child is about to apply to college, do yourself a favor and read this book - and follow its advice.Thanks to this book, both my daughter and also her boyfriend applied to and were recently admitted to several of the Colleges That Change Lives, receiving both merit aid and need-based aid that reduced the total cost of attendance by 75% and close to 100%, respectively. Yes, they are both very good students, but had they done what most everyone else does - apply to a flagship state university (in our case, UCLA or UC Berkeley), they may well have been rejected. Even if accepted, they would have paid full or close to full price - for a college that by all meaningful measures does not provide as good of an education as a small liberal arts college.I also found the book extremely easy, even fun, to read, well organized, thorough, and, well, eye-opening. The college application process can be mind-blowing and it's easy to come away with the impression that there is just no away around taking out massive loans to pay for college. As O'Shaughnessy points out, most people never really consider a private school, especially out of state, because they think a private school would be way too expensive. So they apply exclusively to in-state schools - where in most cases they get little or no financial aid. That's no surprise since a state school has tens of thousands of students and is funded by tax payer money. States just don't have the funds to give every student, or even most students, the financial aid they need.But it doesn't have to be that way. As O'Shaughnessy explains, there a lots of excellent small private colleges all around the country which, thanks to a much, much smaller student body, DO have the funds to give every or almost every student the financial aid they need. Many of these schools also give out generous merit-aid, and not just to one or two geniuses.Sadly, even most HS college counselor are largely unfamiliar with this information. The reason may be that college counselors are more concerned with how to get students into college and less with how to pay for college. So they tell students to apply to a handful of schools where they have a good chance to get accepted, in many cases well-known in-state institutions, without worrying about the price tag since, presumably, an in-state school will always be the best deal. That may have been OK when college tuition was still affordable for most, but today it's a disservice to both students and parents. In-state schools are NO LONGER the best deal. Nor do they provide the best undergraduate education.So, read "The College Solution" and then, if you want more details about particular schools, read "Colleges That Change Lives" by Loren Pope as recently updated by Hillary Masell Oswald.

I found this book helpful. The information flows well and it is super easy to read. The author does a good job of getting the reader ready for the reality of colleges these days: if you're not rich, your kids' college options are going to be more limited than what you might expect. This is somewhat depressing to learn but as I visit more colleges, I find it to be true. Most of the state flagship universities have high in-state tuition rates, and out of state is ridiculous. Finding a smaller college (or, in our case, our in-state options are actually affordable) is going to be necessary for families who don't have millions in the bank yet earn enough that need-based financial aid is unlikely, even for students with good academic records.

This book is a reasonable resource for parents searching for basic knowledge about college types and financial aid. It will teach little that is new to anyone who is a denizen of "College Confidential" or similar websites, or anyone who reads College advice blogs, because much content is available for free on the internet, but the book does help in terms of organization. And, for some people having the information in print makes it more readable and accessible as needed. Several colleges are highlighted that students might never otherwise have heard of, which is refreshing.A few issues:1. Each chapter ends with an "Action Plan" that is really not an action plan, but rather a "Key Point" of the chapter. This would have been more helpful if, as other reviewers noted, the key points were summarized at the start or end of the book.2. There is too much emphasis placed on graduation rates, again as other reviewers have noted. Most parents and kids looking for colleges with this type of book, are far more concerned with other aspects of a given college.3. There is a solid bias (admitted by the author) toward LAC (liberal arts colleges) and away from large research universities. This may make the book less useful for some kids.

I purchased this book a few years ago when our daughter was just beginning high school and it has been extremely helpful for us in learning about the financial aid process, and that includes both needed-based aid and merit aid. I really like how the author was able to explain the FAFSA and CSS PROFILE and what schools are evaluating when you're completing these forms. This book has to be one of the best out there when it comes to learning about paying for college. I also picked up a copy of The Enlightened College Applicant: A New Approach to the Search and Admissions Process and it's another homerun book in terms of learning more about college admissions. These two books will help any parent in helping their child find the right college.
