How to Make Colleges Want You: Insider Secrets for Tipping the Admissions Odds in Your Favor

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Resource, Great Advice, and Entertaining !

By Lemaro Thompson "christ follower" - June 29, 2009

The book cover is colorful and has illustrations inside and it is not very imposing in terms of size, thus making it more likely that high school students will read it. From the start the author gives proof that he is not a super student as his GPA is below average and his SAT is little above average rounding out to an approximate average student (he also mentions later that he got accepted to Northwestern and the University of Chicago). This is the exact type of student that would be most likely to read this book.

The first section: Understanding Admission -- is short, funny and interesting. In fact it quickly lays out how the admissions process works in terms of how do you decide if you have a good chance of getting into a University? Another interesting point that he makes clear is that colleges are looking to create a diverse body of students, not only those who can perform academically. He then points out that students should make decisions not only based on the rating... read more

A waste of money and time.....ugh.

Clearly, this author has "stuffed the ballot box" in the reviews department - just as he advises students do when applying to college! There are a couple of decent nuggets in this book, such as thinking about what makes a student unique and interesting to a college admissions department, but certainly nothing that would fill more than even a small brochure (and yes, I read the ENTIRE book), or that is novel advice in any form. It's really all about Mike Moyer, Mike Moyer, Mike Moyer...

After reading multiple books on this subject, I would recommend "Admission Matters" by Sally Springer as a good primer for most students and parents.

FINALLY!

By John Pedini - January 6, 2009

My wife and I must have read at least 50 college admission books between us, and this is the first one with practical advice we can put to work for our daughter. I highly recommend this book if your goal is to empower your child through a daunting and sometimes nonsensical process.
