It?s like having a friend in the business

This book arrived at the ideal time to help my family with the college application process. High school students who dream of attending an Ivy League or other highly selective college need to understand the real selection process. Michele Hernandez let the cat out of the bag when she wrote this book. The insider knowledge she provides is like having a friend in the business. If you are new to the college application process and have a starry-eyed high school son or daughter, do yourself a favor and read "A Is For Admission". It can help you and your student set realistic objectives and improve chances of acceptance.

Helped demystify Ivy League admissions

As a college counselor and parent of two, A is For Admission was a great help in understanding what happens when someone applies to Dartmouth (and other Ivy League schools). I was able to help my children and students write strong application essays to differentiate themselves from other applicants. Both my children are now at Brown U.

Great Information

I'm a freshman in high school, and I have always wanted to go to an Ivy League college. I read this book, and I learned a lot. It told a very large amount about the admissions process. This past summer my family and I went on a tour of 4 Ivy Leagues. The trip's purpose was to show me the schools aren't that great, and that they're really far away (I live in Ohio). At the end of the trip though, my parents fell in love with the schools. So now my dad is reading this book and loves it also.

Save Yourself Hours of Research

As a parent with a son who wants to attend an ivy league school, I've done a ton of research. After all, we all want our kids to have every opportunity to pursue their dreams. The information found in this book summarizes most everything I've had to find the hard way. It also contains the information everyone wants to know; that being, the real criteria used for admissions, and what can be done to present an application in the best possible light. Additionally, the book presents a realistic view of an ivy league education. It explains that the value of an ivy league education is largely in the exhilariting educational environment, rather than the status it lends or the economic benefit it may (or may not) bring. I wish this had been the first book I read, instead of the tenth. If you are applying to highly selective colleges right now, I guarantee this will help you.

This book makes me break a sweat

Every time I (who will be applying to college soon) open this book, my hands shake and my pulse quickens. According to Ms. Hernandez, getting into "highly selective" colleges such as Dartmouth, her pet school, and others like it is virtually impossible. Furthermore, she paints an extraordinarily bleak picture for the "average guy" type of high school student- a person who is NOT the captain of the football team, the editor of the school newspaper, and/or a refugee from a destitute foreign country. Sorry for being so cynical, but if she's right, most people have got to log off and hit the books.
