About Jeff’s book
Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You (September 2025) is a must-have playbook for families coping with a more stressful era of startling low admission rates and sky-high prices—one that widens the aperture beyond the Top 25 schools and connects students, parents, and counselors with quality, affordable choices.
Backed by unparalleled research—and an eye-opening survey of 3,500 parents—Dream School reveals what really matters in a college: strong job prospects after graduation, hands-on learning experiences, and a sense of belonging. Selingo highlights 75 accessible and affordable colleges that will satisfy those priorities.
