Synopsis

With examples of applications, interviews, and 23 college admission essays, this book reveals proven strategies to get into and pay for any college. Based on the experiences of students who were admitted to America's most prestigious universities, this book covers the entire admissions and financial aid processes, step-by-step. It addresses questions about what 9th to 11th graders can do to prepare for college, how parents can help without hurting, what it takes to ace the SAT and ACT, and where students can find free cash for tuition. Stories of students' successes and failures reveal how the college admissions and financial aid processes really work, while giving a personal face to what is often seen as an impersonal experience.
