Edward B. Fiske served for 17 years as Education Editor of the New York Times, during which time he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He wrote the Fiske Guide to Colleges to help them. He is also the author, with Bruce G. Hammond, of the Fiske Guide to Getting into the Right College.
The 2008 edition is fully updated and based on new surveys of thousands of students and administrators. It's the perfect tool for anxious students and their parents.
