Book Review
If you're getting ready for the college admissions process, you need this book. It used to be that a college applicant with a great SAT score and high grade-point average was easily accepted into a first-choice college. Not anymore. These days it takes an outstanding application, too. The extracurricular activities or "brag" sheet, the personal essay, and the interview all weigh heavily in the acceptance process. As a private college admissions counselor, Dr. Katherine Cohen has placed a great majority of her clients in their first-choice colleges. Now, for the first time, Dr. Cohen offers her successful program in a book complete with work-sheets, timeliness and checklists to help students demystify the college admissions process and get into that dream college. Divided into chapters that cover everything from what courses to take in high school to how to ace that all-important interview, this book is the college admissions bible for students and parents. About the Author Katherine Cohen, Ph.D. A graduate of Brown University and Yale University, Katherine Cohen, Ph.D., founded her private counseling practice, IvyWise, in 1997. She holds a certification in college admissions counseling from UCLA. Dr. Cohen lives in New York City. The Reviews "A great, easy-to-read, step-by-step guide to finding your way through the college admissions maze.

It is an investment that pays back many times over." --Boykin Curry, creator of Essays That Worked, the best-selling college application essay guide An awesome resource for every high school student planning on college, and their parents. A comprehensive look at what gets you into college nowadays. As a bonus - it is enjoyable to read, and not quite as dry as other useful books. Teens can now happily help research what it takes to get into the colleges of their choice. ~Trixie, May 2002 Where to Buy Amazon.com Post your own Book Reviews here |
