Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 18 years of experience in the education-counseling sector, I have gained an in-depth knowledge of the US, UK, Canadian & Australian college and university systems. Understanding the programs on offer and the unique personalities of each school has enabled me to easily match my students to their ideal schools, which leads to their being happy in college and in consequence exceling academically. During my years spent in India, I became increasingly conscious that not everyone attending high school outside the US had a clear vision of how the admissions process actually works (and to be frank I suspect that many of my students attending high schools in US are equally confused about it). This is why I finally sat down and decided to explain the process in full in a book of this nature. Over the years I have been exceptionally successful in placing numerous students into the 8 US Ivy League schools (Harvard, UPenn, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth and Cornell), and also into the other top schools in the US (including MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford, Chicago, Northwestern, and Duke). I've also had huge success placing my students in many of the 20 UK Russell group universities (which include Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, UCL, Imperial, and LSE). One of the key reasons for my success has been my in depth understanding of what each and every college and university is looking for, besides the top grades. I work with my students (from grade 8 up) to help them improve both their academic and extracurricular profiles, so they stand out among all other applicants. This book will help you understand the rules of the game of winning a place at your top choice school. Through it I aim to enable you to significantly improve your chances of winning that coveted place you dream of. I aim to guide you to strategically select the colleges that are looking for students just like you, and to give you an understanding of how the US universities and colleges assess your application and select the candidates that best fit their profile. This is the book for you if - * You want to maximize your chances of winning a place at the school/s of your dreams * You want to know why you have to take classes outside your major area of academic or vocational interest at all US Universities * You want to know which Technical Specialist schools boast the best gender balances * You need help choosing which colleges/universities to apply to * You want to know which schools are in the Ivy League and what the Ivy League actually is * You want to know which schools offer top programs in Engineering or Management at the undergraduate level * You want to know what Pre-Med and Pre-Law involve * You want to know what Greek life actually means * You want to understand how the size of a school will impact your student experience * You want to know which schools have the best ethnic and international diversity * You want to know how US schools assess applicants * You want to know how to write a winning application essay * You want to know how to make your application stand out * You want to know about the SAT and the ACT * You want to understand the application options like ED * You need help to ace your college interview * You want to know about Merit Scholarships * You want to know about Need-Based Financial Aid

Through in-depth analyses of 25 Common Application Essays that have succeeded at Ivy League and "Ivy+" (Stanford, Caltech, UChicago) universities, you'll discover the transformative journey of composing an outstanding college essay that leaves a lasting impression. And beyond the samples, you'll gain actionable tools and concrete exercises in our workbook to compose your very own.

In the spirit of Kitchen Confidential, Chatterjee gives readers an exclusive look inside the college admissions office—and the mind of a college admissions officer—and exposes just what elite schools look for in a potential student. Through a series of real-world case studies and with a store of deep insider knowledge, Chatterjee will help you navigate the thicket of college admissions and show parents and students what skills and attributes to stress (and what to downplay) when applying to your dream school. • 100% SUCCESS RATE: This is the bullet proof guide to getting into a top college from a consultant with a 100 percent success rate getting her clients into one of America’s best universities. • INSIDER KNOWLEDGE: Last year 35,000 students applied to Harvard.

But you must stress the right qualifications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read award-winning journalist Frank Bruni's New York Times bestseller: an inspiring manifesto about everything wrong with today's frenzied college admissions process and how to make the most of your college years. Over the last few decades, Americans have turned college admissions into a terrifying and occasionally devastating process, preceded by test prep, tutors, all sorts of stratagems, all kinds of rankings, and a conviction among too many young people that their futures will be determined and their worth established by which schools say yes and which say no. In Where You Go is Not Who You'll Be, Frank Bruni explains why this mindset is wrong, giving students and their parents a new perspective on this brutal, deeply flawed competition and a path out of the anxiety that it provokes. Bruni, a bestselling author and a columnist for the New York Times, shows that the Ivy League has no monopoly on corner offices, governors' mansions, or the most prestigious academic and scientific grants. Through statistics, surveys, and the stories of hugely successful people, he demonstrates that many kinds of colleges serve as ideal springboards. And he illuminates how to make the most of them. What matters in the end are students' efforts in and out of the classroom, not the name on their diploma. Where you go isn't who you'll be. Americans need to hear that--and this indispensable manifesto says it with eloquence and respect for the real promise of higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do race and social class influence who gets into America's elite colleges? This important book takes a comprehensive look at how all aspects of the elite college experience--from application and admission to enrollment and student life--are affected by these factors. To determine whether elite colleges are admitting and educating a diverse student body, the authors investigate such areas as admission advantages for minorities, academic achievement gaps tied to race and class, unequal burdens in paying for tuition, and satisfaction with college experiences. Arguing that elite higher education affects both social mobility and inequality, the authors call on educational institutions to improve access for students of lower socioeconomic status.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enroll in this boarding school thriller about a group of prep school elites who would kill to get into the college of their dreams...literally. "The Plastics meet the Heathers in this murder mystery about ruthless Ivy League ambition." -Kirkus Reviews Everyone knows the Ivies: the most coveted universities in the United States. Far more important are the Ivies. The Ivies at Claflin Academy, that is. Five girls with the same mission: to get into the Ivy League by any means necessary. I would know. I'm one of them. We disrupt class ranks, club leaderships, and academic competitions...among other things. We improve our own odds by decreasing the fortunes of others. Because hyper-elite competitive college admissions is serious business. And in some cases, it's deadly. Alexa Donne delivers a nail-biting and timely thriller about teens who will stop at nothing to get into the college of their dreams. Too bad no one told them murder isn't an extracurricular.
