Review: Countdown to College
Countdown TO College is a wonderful resource for parents and their children to help them through the critical time from the end of high school through the beginning of college. It provides a thorough guide, keen insights, and practical advice for navigating this important transition.”—Sanjeev R. Kulkarni, dean of the faculty, Princeton University“Finally, an excellent book about the college-entry process after admissions! This book is unique because it recognizes how both students and parents have to understand and confront together every detail of college finances, academics, social life—in short, the college experience as a whole. With remarkable detail, Rinere describes what parents need to do and how prospective students should prepare for college. Her lucid and accessible prose clarifies the process by drawing our attention to issues we might never have considered. Rinere uses powerful anecdotes to explain exactly how carefully we need to plan for our children’s futures. In short, she demystifies college for students and parents. This book should be read by every parent of a prospective college student, but it is also especially important for first-generation and disadvantaged families.
Beautifully written, incredibly helpful, it will become widely read.”

professor of sociology, UC Berkeley
