As a writing coach for students applying to college， I often find myself wishing I could help my clients bypass the stress associated with the process。 Sabky’s comprehensive guide demystifies a great deal of what goes on， particularly on the college side of the application dance， delivering candid advice and rooting for aspiring college students to find their best selves as they navigate the search。 Sabky， who was an admissions director at Dartmouth College for 13 years， is a gifted storyteller， As a writing coach for students applying to college， I often find myself wishing I could help my clients bypass the stress associated with the process。 Sabky’s comprehensive guide demystifies a great deal of what goes on， particularly on the college side of the application dance， delivering candid advice and rooting for aspiring college students to find their best selves as they navigate the search。 Sabky， who was an admissions director at Dartmouth College for 13 years， is a gifted storyteller， and she weaves colorful anecdotes with her tips in several categories， including making the most of college visits， writing a genuine personal statement， and deciding what school to attend。 I suspect anyone who has been through or supported someone else through the college admissions process will recognize some aspect of themselves in these pages—I know I did—and I highly recommend Sabky’s book to both applicants and their parents。 。。。more

As a parent of two high school students， I found this book the most helpful tool in preparing my children for college。 It calmed a lot of my worries about whether I am pushing my kids too hard or too little。 It provided a lot of insight in what the kids need to focus on and help prepare them for college admission。 This book is a must have for all parents of high schoolers！ Highly recommend！

A perfect combination of entertaining and informative！ Sabky shares her perspective on the hyper-selective college admissions process while revealing the humanity of those tasked with conducting the business of enrolling a class each year。 Readers will come away with practical suggestions and， more importantly， reminders that it’s not where you go but what you do with the opportunities you are provided。
