This book is well worth the price. It has paid for itself quite a few times!

Great college search research

I work in a Middle Senior High School and I've purchased several copies of this book for students and friends' children that are headlong into their college search. This book helped my daughter select Duke University as her second choice school of which she's presently starting her third year there.

An outstanding resource!!!

This book is an OUTSTANDING resource for high school students and parents who want a nuts-and-bolts guide to navigating the confusing college admissions and financial aid process with a sensitivity to issues concerning African Americans!!! I only wish that I could have benefitted from the wealth of information included in the pages of the Black Excel African American Student's College Guide back when I was a high school student! I would definitely recommend this book not only for African American high school students, but also for junior high school students who have aspirations to obtain a college education and get into the best school for them! I commend Isaac Black for writing this book and I plan to continue to recommend it to students that I mentor and meet!

An Essential Tool

This book is an essential tool for all minority applicants. It outlines the "how" and "what" of college admissions in a clear, helpful, straight-forward manner. Students learn to maximize their opportunities without compromising integrity, which leads to the ultimate goal -- acceptance to the college of your choice!
