The truths and myths about getting into the top schools from a private college counselor who has placed 75% of her clients in the Ivy League, as well as the most competitive colleges in the country.
If you"re getting ready for the college admissions process, you need this book. It used to be that a college applicant with a great SAT score and high grade-point average was easily accepted into a first-choice college. Not anymore. These days it takes an outstanding application, too. The extracurricular activities or "brag" sheet, the personal essay, and the interview all weigh heavily in the acceptance process.
As a private college admissions counselor, Dr. Katherine Cohen has placed a great majority of her clients in their first-choice colleges. Now, for the first time, Dr. Cohen offers her successful program in a book complete with work-sheets, timeliness and checklists to help students demystify the college admissions process and get into that dream college.
Divided into chapters that cover everything from what courses to take in high school to how to ace that all-important interview, this book is the college admissions bible for students and parents.
