      This guide offers practical advice and reassurance for navigating the college application process, aiming to keep anxious parents and confused students grounded. Unlike typical "How to Get In" guides, it focuses on facilitating difficult conversations, providing a step-by-step approach to discussing key topics with less stress. Organized chronologically, it covers the admissions and financial aid process, starting from the initial college list assembly to the receipt of decisions, and includes insights for the first year of college. Key discussions include preliminary conversations about a child's identity and the type of college that would suit them, selecting a college based on curriculum, culture, and community, crafting effective applications, evaluating acceptances with financial considerations, and transitioning from high school to college life. This resource aims to equip parents, students, and counselors with credible, level-headed information and a much-needed perspective based on experience.
