 Rating:  - outdated and overratedThis book is pretty informative about the 368 "top colleges" that they reference, but I didn't see much variation from the 2008 version of the book! The fact that they try to make you buy a new book every year is kind of ridiculous. Plus, I don't really think 368 colleges is enough-- that's only about 10% of the total colleges in the nation.

There may be many colleges listed, and as I bought the book early in the 10th grade (I was dying to go to college) I did read basically every review, but you can also quickly narrow down the colleges that are best suited for you, such as by knowing that you want a small campus, liberal student body, and a high ratio of professors to students. I bought the book in my senior year as well and then passed the books on the underclassmen ... Read More Rating: - 4.5 stars..... Essential tool for HS seniorsLet me state upfront that our family has completed the college search process, I will be taking my youngest off to college in about 2 weeks. But when I saw this at my local library, I couldn't resist picking this up. The Princetown Review publishes a number of college search-related books, including the "Complete Book of Colleges" and this one. This book is essentially a distilled version of the "Complete Book", and frankly a lot more useful (but for people new to the college process, definitely check that out ...
