With the mission to prepare high school students for the daunting college admissions process, 23-year-old Natasha Scott releases The College Admissions Bible, a handy guidebook detailing everything one needs to know about applying to college (www.CollegeAdmissionsBible.com). The College Admissions Bible is a concise yet comprehensive handbook covering all aspects of the college admission process from writing an impressive college essay to getting strong letters of recommendations to breaking down the "financial aid package" and more.
"There are plenty of guidebooks out there, but the large majority are directed towards parents. I wanted to write a book specifically for students. The College Admissions Bible is an easy-to-read handbook students can carry with them and refer back to throughout their high school career," said Scott. "The college admissions process can be a daunting journey, but it isn't an impossible feat. I wanted to simplify the process as much as possible and show students precisely what they need to do to apply for college without making them feel overwhelmed."
With the rising costs of college turning students off from applying to their dream schools or applying to college all together, The College Admissions Bible also stresses the importance of understanding how to work the financial aid process. “A college education is expensive and is a struggle for many to pay, which is why 2/3 of all college students receive some form of financial aid. If you start applying for scholarships early and get a greater understanding of the financial aid application process, you automatically alleviate the majority of the stress of applying to college.”
To go along with the book, Scott also runs a blog - The College Admissions Bible Blog - providing weekly insights into college admissions, including interviews with recent graduates, financial aid news, and personal reflections on the process.
