THE NEW RULES OF COLLEGE ADMISSIONS

Edited by Stephen Kramer and Michael London. The admissions process is pure competition as more students are applying for college than ever before. Written by a team of former senior admissions officers from several of America’s most selective colleges (including Yale, Columbia, Northwestern, and MIT), the dos and don’ts of the admissions process are laid out in this all-in-one guide designed to help students gain entry into their number-one college choice. Each chapter offers parents and their college-bound child expert advice on a single step of the application process—from selecting the perfect college to writing the personal statement, gathering letters of recommendation, and seeking out financial aid. Helpful charts, checklists, and sidebars offer additional guidance throughout. Fireside. 260 pages. ©2006.
