The Enlightened College Applicant

College Transitions is proud to release “The Enlightened College Applicant: A New Approach to the Search and Admissions Process,” a book aimed at alleviating student/parent anxieties that commonly surround the college admissions process. Published by Rowman & Littlefield, one of the leading education publishers in the country, The Enlightened College Applicant focuses on the following topics among others:

-Whether college prestige really matters.

-How to maximize your college admission prospects.

-Which schools and degrees provide the best return on investment.

-How to minimize the costs of a college education.

-What college-related skills are valued in the job market.

The book has already received high praise from education leaders across the U.S., including Lynn O’Shaughnessy, author of The College Solution and lead college contributor to CBS Moneywatch:

"With many elite colleges now costing more than $250,000 (!), it’s absolute lunacy for parents and teenagers to explore their college options without first becoming empowered college consumers. An excellent way to start is by reading The Enlightened College Applicant. This is a superb and refreshingly unique book that does a masterful job of equipping families with what they need to successfully navigate the entire college admission process."

The Enlightened College Applicant is available for pre-order on Amazon and will be released September 1.
