5.0 out of 5 stars Bite Size Advice for Overstressed Teens, June 5, 2005
Parents and teenagers who have already read extensively about the college admissions process or worked with professional counselors will not find much new in this book, but this is an excellent choice for the teenager who is procrastinating or feeling overwhelmed by the process. Each page has a short paragraph with a useful tip, including a simple title and phrase to summarize the advice. The format is great for thumbing through or simply referring to the topics where advice is needed at the time - for example, a student preparing for an interview would find about 20 helpful tips in the "Interviews Chapter" - including advice on what to wear, how to prepare, and what to talk about. It would take only a few minutes to review this section - yet it probably covers everything the student is likely to be concerned about.
This book is a great choice for teens who don't have the time to read a lengthy discourse and who tend to tune out anything that sounds like parental advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Positive College Admissions Book Out There!, April 28, 2005
Ms. Doe and Dr. Hernandez,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your newest book.

I've now read your all of Dr. Hernandez's books, "Harvard Schmarvard", and Chuck Hughes' book. The emotional swings I've experienced while reading these have borne a marked similarity to Kubler Ross's 5 stages of accepting a terminal illness...in this case the sickness of applying to elite colleges. I'm now accepting the difficulty of the process and the most likely outcome that my child won't get into her dream school, no matter how smart she is, but was still lingering in the depression stage when I found your new book. It is the ONLY book that 1) addresses the kids (not the parents) and 2) injects the realism about the process that many kids and parents don't want to hear...in a POSITIVE and ACTION-ORIENTED way! For the first time, I felt that, although my kid may ultimately not get into the prestigious school she thinks she desires, she WILL get into the college that's right for her and has the tips she needs to show her best self to the adcoms. I dog-eared several pages and put it on the table next to her backpack. I actually saw her pick it up, start leafing through the pages, and then take it with her to the kitchen table to read while she ate her breakfast this morning. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great primer for high school students, March 14, 2005
It's been over 30 years since I went through the college application process and things sure have changed. I am now the parent of a high school junior and have been reading everything out there to help my daughter with this procedure. Since I'm not sure if she wants or needs my help, this book is something I can hand her that she actually will read. It is simply written and guides the student through the application and college selection process without stressing them out.
