Review
This is a comprehensive guide that leaves nothing out. Both students and their parents will find information that is immediately helpful and also reassuring: look no further for everything you ever wanted to know about getting into the college of your choice. (Karen Rayne )
As a reader, I know that this book will assist many students who are confused about the admissions process. From personal experience, I did not follow many of these steps, and if I had, perhaps I would have had more educational options. Our tendency is to ignore what is overwhelming, but the strategy behind this book's purpose will not allow readers to do that, giving them an advantage that past students may not have had. (Elizabeth Mulford )
A valuable, detailed step-by-step guide for students applying to colleges. (The Daily Times (Delmarva) )
Roadmap for College Admissions deftly charts the ambiguous, confusing topography that characterizes the college application landscape. Bina Chandresekhara’s book takes the reader on a How-To expressway toward solving practical problems associated with the college admissions process. Among its many interesting and useable features, this book provides a carefully constructed timeline, specific suggestions for building one’s academic and extracurricular profile, and an array of nicely constructed sample essays. Roadmap for College Admissions is a most valuable resource for all college-bound high school students and their parents. (John Wenke )

This book could not be more clear and easy. It really highlights everything that colleges look for in an applicant and what one should do to get into a college - any college, but especially top colleges.
