First, it should be known that this book was published in 2001 and therefore all the stats (which would be the one thing in here that could be useful) are meaningless. Secondly, the paragraphs describing each college lend no real insight into what actually makes each college unique - rather it is a compilation of ambiguous descriptions and statements. This book was a real let down for me. My advice would be to visit the school websites or access other internet resources for information. Save your money and use it to buy an ice-cream cone. You will be happier.

This review is from: America's Elite Colleges (Paperback)
Great resource if you're only buying 1 guide to admissions to the Elite colleges.
Provides inside information on the tendencies of various admissions departments. Very, very helpful on writing the college essay, too. |
