Rating:  - who needs this?
trully, i am from a very small town with minimal educational oppourtunities. I made my way into a very well respected graduate school without the help of a book like this. It is understood that applying for school is stressful, but so is applying for a job or a passport. The title is very accurate.

Given today's high-pressure environment surrounding college admissions, this book provides the necessary tips for avoiding the usual stress. I highly recommend it.

I love this book because it's about the only one my son will read...It's presented simply and is easy to digest.

Hernandez diluted her expertise with this coauthor arrangement. She short changed her reputation by using a format that looks like the result of a single brainstorming ... Read More
