"Demystifying the process of completing a college application. Written by two former admissions officers at top universities and current admissions coaches, this book is a must-have for preparing a winning college application.

Shows how to avoid underestimating the importance of critical features on any application Includes the latest information on Common Application 4.0 and corrects outdated, holdover advice still stressed in many other books This book is filled with step-by-step advice that students and parents can use immediately and will refer to again and again"--
