Review by Kristine I. Hintz for The 500 Best Ways for Teens to Spend the Summer: Learn About Programs for College Bound High School Students (College Admissions Guides)
Rating:
I am a career coach who helps young people optimally position themselves to colleges, graduate schools and employers. I am also a parent who always took the approach of doing “advance scouting” for summer programs that would help my son explore interests, expand his horizons, gain experience and build credibility in areas he was interested in pursuing in college, and most importantly, enrich his life.
This book was a pivotal resource in my “advance scouting” effort. It identified some of the most reputable, valuable programs out there. I used it as a launching point for internet research, and it served that purpose perfectly. My son and niece ended up attending some of the superb programs I first discovered from this book, with rewarding results.
I recommend this book to my clients, and will continue to do so. My only slight criticism is that its information is now a bit old (2004). I would welcome a second updated edition of this wonderful resource book!
