Description
This directory for high-achieving students presents detailed profiles for nearly 70 of the most academically competitive four-year colleges across the United States. Each essay has been written by a recent graduate of the college being profiled. Information covers admissions requirements, academic programs, social life and activities, nearby off-campus activities, available sources of financial aid, application procedures, student enrollment, a description of campus environment, library and research facilities, and many other significant details. Near the end of this directory, college applicants will find a valuable chapter recommending strategies to increase their chances of acceptance and academic success after they are enrolled. These include application strategies, essay-writing strategies, financing strategies, and study strategies. Finally, A Most Competitive Comparison chart offers at-a-glance statistics for each school. High school student counselors will value this directory as a vital addition to their reference shelf, and students seeking information on the nation's very best colleges will find exactly what they're looking for.
