| Every year I read all the new books on admissions to
keep current. Below is a very short collection of what
I consider the most helpful and clear books written on
admissions in the last few years. It’s worth taking
the time to educate yourself regarding the new college
admissions scene as the process can seem scary from the
outside looking in! Even better, would be to explore some of the resources and products I've spent years developing to help you with the admissions process. |
| On Writing the College
Application Essay: The Key to Acceptance and the College

essay written by my friend and former colleague Harry
Bauld. Highly recommended both for its superb content
and its humor.
