Ivy League Prep - How to Get Admitted - An Innovative, Strategic Approach to College Admissions

College admissions, especially to the nation’s top schools, is becoming increasingly competitive. I wrote this book to give you and your child actionable advice and a strategic way to approach college admissions. The chances of being admitted to highly selective colleges is slim—but if your child develops a strong, cohesive theme and a compelling personal narrative, his or her chances of being admitted can be significantly improved. This book draws largely upon my own experience: I was a non-minority, non-athlete, non-legacy applicant admitted to several top colleges including Yale, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Cornell, Georgetown, and Duke. I enrolled at Yale, and my experience there and the resulting opportunities that followed have significantly shaped my life. In this book, you’ll be introduced to today’s increasingly competitive admission landscape and why fighting for a spot at a top college is worthwhile. We’ll walk through what a successful admissions profile looks like, at each step identifying strategies for showcasing your child as a compelling applicant. We’ll discuss the admissions process holistically, working through each stage of your child’s education—specifically identifying what your child needs to do as a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior. Additionally, the book includes strategies for selecting colleges and reveals several common mistakes your child needs to avoid throughout the admissions process.
