This review is from: Greenes' Guides to Educational Planning: Making It into A Top Graduate School: 10 Steps to Successful Graduate School Admission (Paperback)

The main reason I bought this book is because I got three rejection letters during the last season of admissions. So, I bought the book with the hope that it will give me an insight of the admissions process in which it did. You will get all the information you need regarding how to choose the right college. What you should do during your undergraduate studies in order to make a better chance of getting acceptance. How to ask someone to write a great recommendation for you, and of course, how to write a supurb personal statement. You don't really need to have a straight A's to get into Grad. School. However, a long preparation and strong commitment is required. At the end of the admissions this year, I got five thick envelopes sending to me, now I just have to choose which one will I want to go, and one of those happens to be Harvard University.
