From the Publisher:

Countdown to College: 21 'To Do' Lists for High School is an easy to follow timeline to help students maximize their high school years and optimize their chances of 'getting where they want to go.' While encouraging exploration and self-discovery, these "to do's" provide the nitty gritty details necessary to the college admissions process. There will be no missed deadlines, or missed opportunities, as this step-by-steo guide shows students and parents what to do and when to do it.

From the Author:

The race to the finish line - college, that is - began without our knowledge when my daughter, Ashlie, entered the 9th grade. From the beginning, our biggest problem was knowing what needed to be done before the deadline had passed. Ashlie's extracurricular commitments, club meetings during homeroom and trips to the orthodontist caused her to miss information on meetings and deadlines. I'd find student bulletins and parent meeting announcements in the backseat of the car, the floor of her bedroom, or in the trash pile of papers on the kitchen counter.

Just as Ashlie's activities increased (driver's ed, community service, SAT and ACT testing, evening high school and sports activites and oh, yes, schoolwork), the onslaught of product information and college prep services all touting their own must-do-now importance began. The only way out was to organize and prioritize. We made checklists for everything. It was the only way to get things done.

Those checklists became the basis of this book. Thanks to the help of my co-author, Cheryl Rilly, those lists have been expanded and we've gathered all the information, web sites, references and resources you'll need for your own journey - and most importantly, when you'll need to get things done.

Whether you're an incoming 9th grader or a senior on the brink of making those all-important decisions, it's never too late to use the tools in this book to enhance your high school-to-college experiences.
