Shelly B said...: I have heard so much about this one that I feel I must read it! I haven't read any of her others, so I'll comment on college admissions. I only applied to one college for my bachelors, and was so excited when I received my admission letter that I saved it in my Senior scrapbook!

Vanessa said...: I still have residual stress from college applications. I was homeschooled, so the whole process was a bit more confusing and complicated for me.

Teddy Rose said...: I went to 2 universities for my BA. They were a peice of cake to get into but they were not top 20. I had a tougher time with getting accepted for my masters. The essay could't be my normal B.S. It had to be first rate and many drafts. However, I did get accepted. I don't think that I would have been able to get into a top school and didn't have the money for it either. I miss school!

Anonymous said...: I applied to six schools. I was accepted to four, wait-listed at one, and rejected from Yale (that was my reach school). I had been home-schooled for most of High School, so it was a lot of extra work and confusion for me, but I got accepted into some very good schools. Too bad I ended up unable to afford to stay in any of them, so now I'm doing correspondence courses. :-( NYU especially would have been nice to be able to attend.

I would love to read this book to learn about things from the other side of the situation. Please enter me. Thanks!
