So, I’ve been doing some marketing research for my upcoming book The Secrets of Top Students – formerly called The Valedictorian’s Guide – and I compiled a list of websites (and some print media) related to high school and college. This list is far from comprehensive, but I thought some people might find it useful. I categorized them as follows:

1. College / General Education News & Advice
2. College Admission Advice & Consultants
3. Websites for Parents of High School/ College Students
4. SAT Prep
5. Scholarship/ Financial Aid Websites
6. College Life Advice
7. Websites for Online Education and Adults Going Back to School
8. Miscellaneous
9. Magazines & Newspapers for Students and Parents

Do you have a favorite education website not mentioned here?  Feel free to leave a reply below.
