It is never too soon to start college application and scholarship research. Countless books are available, but perhaps some of the most informative books are as follows: Joyce Slayton Mitchell's Winning the Heart of the College Admissions Dean, Loren Pope's Colleges That Change Lives, and Montauk and Klein's How To Get Into The Top Colleges. The Fiske Guide to Colleges is an excellent general source for beginning the search as well.
