内容简介

Applying to college is the culmination of years of hard work late-night study sessions, grueling SAT preparation, and hours of dedication to extracurricular activities. It’s also a process that often overwhelms both students and parents. In this collection of insightful, candid advice from college-counseling guru Joyce Slayton Mitchell, students and parents will find the core information they need to confidently research colleges, write essays, fill out applications, make sense of financial aid and interviews, and, most important, win the heart of many a college admissions dean. Completely revised and updated with thorough coverage of the new SATs, a new chapter on April decisions, and attention to institutional priorities, WINNING THE HEART OF THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS DEAN is your guide to navigating the college selection and application process with sanity and hope.
