plansrme Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 This was discussed on here recently. If this isn't it, perhaps the thread in which it was mentioned will have more ideas. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachin'Mine Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Michele you may want to read some of the one star comments on Amazon - there are 6 of them. http://www.amazon.com/What-Colleges-Dont-Other-Parents/dp/0452288541/ref=tmm_pap_title_0 I was thinking a book like that would be great, until I read some of the suggestions given in the book. Ugh. I don't recall having read the thread here about the book, but I'd suggest checking that out as well as I'm sure others had concerns about the rather dishonest "suggestions" made in this book. Unethical sums it up. Edited February 22, 2011 by Teachin'Mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I remember it showing up in a thread. As far as I can remember, everybody passionately hated the book but a few of them said it had a few good suggestions in amongst the unethical ones. -Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicmom Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I don't recall having heard about the book mentioned in the posts above, but if you're looking for a book about Ivy League admissions, I read one several years ago called A is for Admission by Michele Hernandez. I found it in our local public library. I thought it was quite helpful and I don't recall anything unethical in it at all. You can look it up on Amazon (couldn't paste the link for some reason). It seems to have a lot of good reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
