Rugg’s Recommenda- tions on the Colleges , Frederick Rugg, 2003 — This self-published book does something most other guidebooks do not: It divides col- leges into lists such as recommended under- graduate programs; miscellaneous majors; average SAT and ACT scores recommended for different majors. If you are looking for the strongest colleges in a particular major, this is a good place to check, although you won’t find every college and university listed here. Grimes, Christine.
