"A great roadmap for students considering the transition to college. Each chapter includes a list of frequently asked questions as well as personal exercises to work through, such as creating a checklist for a college visit or analyzing the admissions goals of a particular school. This title should be in every high school library and guidance office." -- School Library Journal "There are a number of books about the college admission process on shelves all over this country. Frank Burtnett has written one that will be on desks, open and used. I particularly like his FAQ sections and hands-on approach. Admission at its best is a developmental process, and Burtnett has captured this through the personal student exercises." --R.

Russell Shunk, former executive vice president and former dean of admissions of Dickinson College, Pennsylvania "In the Bound-for-College Guidebook , all the steps to finding and applying to colleges are thoroughly explored." -- JVibe "Burtnett's concise and objective writing structure provides a realistic insight into what students can expect. This essential guide is highly recommended for all college-bound students and their parents." -- Library Journal, Starred Review "Frank Burtnett has created a reader-friendly guide to helping the college-bound student navigate his or her challenging journey. The information he presents, complimented by the student exercises and Frequently Asked Questions, covers the process from A to Z." --William E. Cox, president and CEO of Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine "A very useful tool for students looking for colleges. Burtnett's approach is comprehensive, but cut into good-sized pieces.
