The college admissions process can be daunting, to say the least. No matter how well you are prepared for the multiple application requirements, the process can quickly become overwhelming for students and parents alike. When you turn to outside sources for advice, you often find several hundred-page books that are difficult to navigate.
This new guide, written by independent college advisor and educational consultant Jamie L. Reich, M.S., P.D., and school and college counselor Wesley Berkowitz, Ph.D., isn’t like that at all. Instead, the authors concisely cover everything you need to know to assemble a stellar application. Their guide includes topics such as how to:
- secure the best teacher recommendations
- decide whether to apply Early Action/Early Decision
- fill out the college application
- take advantage of campus visits
- ace college interviews
- demonstrate your strengths through extracurricular activities and Advanced Placement courses
- write a powerful personal essay
- compile everything needed to create a complete and in-depth application
Reich and Berkowitz use a question-and-answer format to address some of the most common anxieties about the college admissions process. Both professionals understand how stressful it can be for the entire family, but they will prove to you that the more confident and focused you are, the better prepared you will be for your meaningful future.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
