Maybe it's just me, and it's possible don't find inspirational books that helpful, but this book did not help me much. I was still left with the same anxiety that I felt before I bought this book. (Until I got accepted to college of course), but it seemed that the sections dealing with the timespan waiting for your decision was lacking. It either gave inspirational stories or getting in or not getting in.

I myself, did not find it very useful, perhaps someone else will have more luck

Highly recommend this book both for students applying to college and their parents. My daughter and I both loved the real perspective and insight into the experience. Finally, a heart-felt, real alternative for those how-to-get in books, and the anxiety ridden posts on [..], etc. A great alternative to the usual fare about the subject. It was very helfpul - bravo!

This book is a wonderful read! It covers so many aspects, including a chapter with stories written by the parents of the prospective students. I would definitely recommend it!
