Editorial Reviews

Review

"Mr. Coakley's College Coaching Program promotes the highest standards of excellence. After following his guidelines and suggestions, I found myself fully prepared for my current college experience." -- Lynne M.

"Mr. Coakley's program was instrumental in my acceptance to The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. My parents and I are extremely grateful for his insight into the admissions process and for the information found in this book. I suggest that anyone with a desire to attend a selective college buy this book and get to work immediately." -- Anthony C.

"This book is no joke! Once I started to work, I realized how much this program helped me to organize my ideas and goals. This book was a life-saver!" -- Mark K.

"This guide is the number one reason I was accepted to the colleges of my choice. Thanks Mr. C. for making the college process understandable and less painful." -- Jessica C.

"We can say with confidence that this program was responsible for our two children attending Ivy League universities. This book should be at the core of every student's college preparation." -- The Stevens Family

From the Author

Unlike many other college guidebooks, A Smart Student's Guide... contains only eighty pages of useful information. For students and parents who may already be overwhelmed by the Selective College admissions process, lengthy guidebooks overflowing with meaningless preaching, are unnecessary, time-consuming distractions. Past students and parents have found A Smart Student's Guide... to be a great companion for quick reference while also providing valuable information to help students organize their entire admissions calendar. Additionally, parents of first-generation college students, after reading this book, will finally understand enough about the Selective College admissions process to better assist their students with admissions activities.

4.0 out of 5 stars I got in to Wharton because of this book, January 21, 2000
This review is from: A Smart Student's Guide to Selective College Admissions : A Workbook for High Achievers (Spiral-bound)
Mr. Coakley is an college admission genius. I read a few college books when I was applying, but none of them were as helpful as this one. This is not just a book that you read and then forget, it is a WORKBOOK. He has provided ample space within the book to complete the writing exercises. Lets face it, the hardest part about the application is the ESSAY. I am not a good writer, (as you may tell from reading this), but Mr. Coakley's exercises challenged me. When it came time to writing my essay, I had the tools I needed to make sure it was Ivy Quality. If you have troubles writing then he can get you to the promised land.
