For years, families have been told to chase rankings, tour campuses to find a fit, compare acceptance rates, and assume that the harder a school is to get into, the better it must be. Michael Griffin thinks that is backward. “The College Search, Redefined” puts the questions back in your hands. It asks not “How prestigious is this school?” but “Will it prepare my child for the work and workforce ahead?” It offers a framework for choosing a college where your child fits and that launches them into a career.
