A Backstage Tour of the College Admissions Office Margaret Hamilton

Books about college admissions fill shelves, but Margaret B. Hamilton's A Backstage Tour of the College Admissions Office is unlike any other. Hamilton takes us inside the admissions office to reveal how the decisions that change lives are made. It's the one admissions book the professionals don't want you to read. A few of the dozens of secrets outed by Hamilton: The real purpose and Dark Side of the SAT and ACT examinations; How Showing the Love can get your daughter or son Admitted; Why Early Decision applicants will pay more for college; How the Admissions Office calculates what you can afford to pay, and; Why understanding Digital Admissions will improve the odds of getting a terrific scholarship. A former Vice President for Enrollment, Hamilton's Backstage Tour is packed with strategies to help parents succeed. She'll teach you to use her Track and Act System to create the Perfect College Search. Organized as a series of Tour Stops, every idea is explained in simple terms and plain language. The subtitle of A Backstage Tour of the College Admissions Office says it all: What Every Parent Needs to Know.
