>> Gain an edge in college choice s
This short guide book is filled with useful tips on subjects that might otherwise be overlooked by many college applicants It also provides examples of essay formats that should be very helpful I recommend it for any high school applicant especially those with their sights on a particular institution
>> Don t Apply Without Reading This Book
Our son is currently engaged in his college hunt He s a fairly well qualified high school junior top 10 of his class varsity sports Eagle Scout outside job etc We thought this college thing would be a fairly easy process WRONG
We are so thankful to have discovered this book Dr Hernandez does a superb job of explaining the entire process of applying to a highly selective college or university She provides a behind the scenes look at how a college application is screened while providing many practical and insightful recommendations on completing the process Had we not discovered this book I can assure you our son would have made some egregious errors when completing his applications
To date we ve visited Cornell Duke Wake Forest and UNC Chapel Hill Each of the college admissions lectures we received at these institutions validated the information in this book It was as though Dr Hernandez was prescient If you ve not already done so I cannot encourage you enough to VISIT COLLEGES Listen to their admissions presentations Take their tours Talk to their students You ll learn a great deal that s not addressed in the U S News World Report and Princeton Review college selection guides And it s FUN
Run don t walk to purchase this publication It s a quick read Have a highlighter handy
I also highly recommend The Early Admissions Game by Christopher Avery It s imperative you understand the effect of Early Decision on the college acceptance process
Good luck during your college hunt
Jim
