A basic guide to colleges in which I tagged a lot, bu never did anything more with it. The information was elementary, and less than you would get if you went to a session about the specific college in the guide or spent ten minutes on their website. Although, I'd suggest the later because the more interest you show in a college {i.e. showing up for their sessions, going on a campus visit}, the more they show an interest in you. Or, so I've been told.

Still, the introduction is helpful as it's been written by a director of undergraduate admissions at the University of Michigan, but the rest really isn't worth your time. ( )
