[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a formula. People say it’s random, and that’s true on the margins. But there is a way to play it if you know the formula. The absolute best thing you can do for your 8-10the grader now is to buy Who Gets In and Why. I read it 2 years ago and was able glean a logic to it. Wish it weren’t the case, but given that I can’t change it, we played the game. We broke out the admissions criteria into 4 parts, and focused on each of those in turn. That worked a charm for DD. She’s into a top 10 college, no hooks other than good luck and knowing the game. [/quote]

Thanks.  I have a 9th grader and will get this book![/quote]

If the book really is as advertised here, then buying it for your kid risks mental health issues. Be sure to balance it out, at least, with Where You Go is not Who You'll Be, Harvard Schmarvard and/or the Less High School Stress website. Strategizing is fine to a certain extent, but not if it's leading to anxiety over 'needing' to gain admission to specific colleges.[/quote]
