 Great Info November 4, 2008
I gave this book to my twin daughters so they could to the college they wanted instead of just afford. It was great information and landed them in the private college they wanted for a community college price...recommend reading.

Truth to be told, I bought two copies to give to two couples that are having children go off to college next year. So, I did not read them. The ordering and delivery were very good, just as advertised. Clayton Penhallegon

This book is very informative. Ben Kaplan manages to convey the information in a fun and lighthearted manner. This is a great book for parents and students alike.
I'm amazed at how much I didn't know! July 19, 2008
Being the first person in my immediate and extended family to go to college, I had no one there to pave the way to college for me--I especially had no one to guide me through the entire world of financial aid. I am now going to be a college sophomore in the fall, and I wish more than anything I would have had this book in high school! There is so much information I did not know about the entire world of financial aid that would have come in handy before I ever attended college! Even now, I am learning so much from this book that seem like such simple ideas but that I would have never thought of! This book is incredibly organized and very informative. I am going to recommend it to many of my closest friends. [Not everyone though...I want an edge in winning scholarships! :-)]

This book is ok for the clueless, but if you've already applied for scholarships and in the minority group, then this book does not help much. Once in the website, all links are to buy Kaplan's products. Navigating his website is a practice exercise all by itself to find a decent link, you have to weave through all the non-applicable stuff to get anything decent. By then, you're just frustrated at the wasted time. The book gives a lot of promises, but afterwards, you'll see he only skimmed the surface just like any other book.
