Important Book for College Bound Kids & Their Parents

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book provides info the average college counselor in high school does not. The author founded a successful college counseling service that charges top dollar. TOP dollar. Her book gives you a lot of the same tips and info that her professional counselors give their students. These tips are for every student - in public school, private school and likely even homeschoolers. Parents, if this is your first time with a college-bound child or you have done this before I recommend you buy this book. You will find original ideas on how to get your child’s college application noticed during his/her admissions journey.

Do you want to get into an Ivy League school? This book will help you!

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is well written and easy to read. It works whether you read it cover-to-cover or use it as a topical reference guide. Getting into a top school is absolutely possible, even without huge financial resources.

The admissions process can be daunting, and this book gives much-needed guidance across everything from application essays and interview prep to SATs and social media. The advice is practical and goes well beyond obvious suggestions. The book also provides answers to questions like Why do private schools have higher acceptances into the Ivy Leagues than public schools with similarly rigorous academic standards? It provides strategies for competing with the college counseling offices of the best private high schools.

For anyone who wants to get into an Ivy League school, this book is well worth it. Great explanations and insights into the admissions process ... from an author who has walked the talk successfully!

Great book - great advice!

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a wonderful resource for students and families navigating the increasingly complicated and stressful world of college admissions. The college application process is so different from when I applied, and there are so many more parts to it. It's great to have a guide that's clear, concise, and well-written. This book can help anyone - whether coming from a public or private school - or even home-schooled. And the advice it provides can help students apply to Ivy League schools and beyond. I especially love the templates in the book; they are extremely useful.

This is the perfect book to guide your student through high school to maximize her chances of getting into the college of her dreams! Buy this book when your student is in middle school, and use it as your bible to guide you through decisions about courses to take, activities to get involved in, summer programs that can make your application stand out, and finally, how to package it all in an application that gets you into the school of your dreams!

In the ocean of books claiming to lead your kids to Ivy, this is the only practical guide that works and covers all the aspects of the process. After my first purchase I bought several more as gifts to my friends having teens targeting high. The feedback is extremely positive.

I was really disappointed with this book

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

I was really disappointed with this book. I thought it would be comparable to Michele Hernandez's books (which are excellent, by the way) with a pure focus on applying to ivy league (or highly selective) colleges from a public school perspective. The advice is generic and not even tailored to highly selective schools. Complete waste of money.
