"This is a "must read" if you really want to know about the college admissions process for the top schools. I love the way the story was told because it followed one admissions officer and several different high school prospects. What you realize is that the process is flawed, but eventually, everyone seems to find a place they belong...and that gives me hope!"
"this is a very eye opening account of the college admissions process at a highly selective school - parents with kids in high school - this is something you should read if your kid is likely to apply to the ivy league type of schools."
"Inside story about the admissions process from the other side. It follows the process from recruitment to reading applications to deliberations to acceptances and follow-up from the perspective of the admissions counselors. Very interesting."
"Ok, but I had to read it- my daughter is a senior! helpful to see the admission counselor's perspective. However, I doubt that the essays mean that much- especially at state schools or large universities."
