Summary: Best of the bunch
Review: I am a college recruiter who specializes in minority students. I have used all of the college guides targeted to minorities and this is the best one. It's comprehensive, clearly written and nicely organized. Five stars.

Summary: This book was great help!
Review: I found out about this book on the radio. The writer was being interviewed. I decided to get it because I will be graduating from high school next June and I want to go to college. My mother didn't go to college so all she could do to help me was to say "just go to college." She couldn't give me any advice on which college or how I should go about figuring out which college was right for me. One of my teachers tried to help, but she just wanted me to go to the college where she went. I heard the author talking about how important it is to pick a college that is right for you even if other people said you should go to another school so I got this book so I could figure out which college was right for me. I could not stop reading it. It showed me how to pick the right school for me. It also had a lot of information on financial aid which I needed. The book has a lot of tips on how to pick the right college and how to get accepted there. I found out about a lot of colleges that I never heard of like Johnson C. Smith University, Davidson University and Elon College. All of these colleges are in North Carolina and I never heard of them. I also liked that the book has all of the black colleges and the non-black colleges.

Summary: DayStar Guide to Colleges for African American Students
Review: This was the most comprehensive College guide I've ever seen. It gave me the ability to rate colleges in the areas that I felt were important to me. Both of my children used the book to make their decisions on which colleges they wanted to visit.
