<p>I need a recommendation for a very thorough college application guidebook. </p>
<p>My loving parents do not understand financial aid or the college admissions process in general.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>As a general guidebook, I liked this one: New rules of college admissions</p>
<p>[The</a> New Rules of College Admissions: Ten Former Admissions Officers Reveal What it Takes to Get Into College Today (Fireside Books (Fireside)): Michael London,Stephen Kramer: 9780743280679: Amazon.com: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/New-Rules-College-Admissions-Officers/dp/0743280679]The”>http://www.amazon.com/New-Rules-College-Admissions-Officers/dp/0743280679) </p>
<p>For detailed help on how to fill out the common application: Acing the common application</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Check out books from your public library’s college section. You can glean information from many different sources without having to buy the books.</p>
<p>I love this book:</p>
<p>[adMISSION</a> POSSIBLE The Book: College Admissions Guide](<a href=“http://www.admissionpossiblebook.com/]adMISSION”>http://www.admissionpossiblebook.com/)</p>
<p>and the website:</p>
<p>[adMISSION</a> POSSIBLE| College Admission Resources for ALL Students](<a href=“http://www.admissionpossible.com/]adMISSION”>http://www.admissionpossible.com/)</p>
<p>It was straight forward and easy to digest and the checklists were really helpful.</p>
