Terry Greene Clark's B.S. and M.B.A. did not help her as she stumbled her way through the early stages of the college application process with her first child, an aspiring college athlete. A year later when it started all over again with her son, she realized there was even more to learn with this music and business major. At this point, she thought of writing this book to help other parents facing the same challenges. It was in the process of launching her third child with interests in science into the college realm that this book finally came to fruition.
