As a guidance counselor I really enjoyed hearing about the perspective from the "other side". Gave me some good ideas about how to best present my students. A bit rambly at times, but nice reading.

very interesting insiders view to the process of gaining admission to a prestigious university in today' day of many qualified applicants competing for not enough seats. Highly recommend if you have a teen applying to college soon.

Goes inside the college admission process at Wesleyan, documenting the work of an admissions officer, as well as the lives of some of the high school prospects. Good reading for parents of students who will be applying to selective schools in the next few years.
