Let's face it. Teens + College = STRESS!!
While many books provide parents with information about college admissions, few anticipate their questions and provide honest answers to the reality of the process based upon research AND the personal experience of launching 3 very distinct and unique teenagers in the last five years.
Demystifying COLLEGE ADMISSIONS will offer parents a simple guide, practical advice and real world experience, bringing together all the information you need to know about the college matriculation process, from freshman year in high school to acceptance into college.
It is not surprising that many parents feel so overwhelmed by the prospect of college because there is so much information to process.
Parents must not only research and educate themselves, but also deal with their teenagers who are on the verge of making life-changing decisions. In the midst of all this, parents discover their teens are changing their goals, aspirations and preferences at the drop of a hat.
Personal experience and research* give way to the facts, simple steps, additional resources, and reality checks that will empower parents to take an active role in most effectively helping their teens find the colleges that are the best fit!

About the Author
Terry Greene Clark's B.S. and M.B.A. did not help her as she stumbled her way through the early stages of the college application process with her first child, an aspiring college athlete. A year later when it started all over again with her son, she realized there was even more to learn with this music and business major. At this point, she thought of writing this book to help other parents facing the same challenges. It was in the process of launching her third child with interests in science into the college realm that this book finally came to fruition.
I had no knowledge of the extensive scope of higher education when my eldest daughter entered her junior year of high school. I kept asking myself, “Why am I struggling so much?” I have decided that this difficulty stemmed from two main facts. First, I have been there and done this before. As a matter of fact, I did it all by myself with little help from any high school advisor or my parents. As a child of an Irish immigrant, I was the first in my immediate family to attend and graduate from any college. "Why is this so different?" My second reason is an extension of the first. I am an educated woman. I have worked in corporate America and played a role in a family business. "Why don’t I get this?"
I have spent so much time in the last 5+ years talking to friends, family, and new acquaintances at coffees, lunches and social events discussing the college process only to discover that everyone has questions and anxiety about college for their teenagers. I also learned that the college search, application and matriculation process will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. It is exciting, frustrating, demanding, overwhelming, joyful, and bittersweet for parents and their children. My hope is that this book will provide you with valuable information to make your journey a little easier.
