Essencial for every college minded senior
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I purchased the earlier edition for my son, who used it extensively and, ultimately, got accepted into 10 colleges out of 17 he applied to including UC Berkeley, Boston University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic. This is really amazing, especially considering that my kid had only 3.6 weighted GPA, did not have on his resume anything like "class president" or super impressive extracurriculars. However, this book allowed him to thoroughly explore what is unique and special about him, and present it in the right way to colleges. One of the colleges even sent a hand-written note from Admissions office regarding how vivid and well written was his "big essay". The book is also very helpful in terms of keeping your sanity with making everything organized, and not missing any deadlines. It is a very small, but very valuable investment in your childs future. Buy it, read it together with your senior, and your child will find the best possible educational path for them.
