Practical and easy-to-read, the book offers insider tips for the top ten "moments" of the college application process:

#4 Visiting the colleges: the whens, whys, and hows
#5 Preparing for and taking the SATs/ACTs
#6 Constructing your application: the Common App essay, the extra-curriculars, the letters of recommendation, and the supplemental essays and attachments
#7 Figuring out what admission officers are looking for in an application
#8 Deciding whether to apply early decision, early action, or regular decision
#9 Putting your best self forward in the on-campus or alumni interview
#10 Making your final choice--and improving the offer
With tips for the 2015-2016 Common App Essay Prompts and the 2016 SAT, this book will not only demystify the college-application process, it will reduce your stress and maximize your chances of getting into the college of your choice.
