<p>Anyone else notice the email address of the guy selling his “used” copy of an e-book (you could make 1,000 used copies if you wanted to)? Hmmm, it ends in Chang and the author’s pseudonym is John Dorian Chang.</p>
<p>I was really thinking of buying Hopeless to Harvard, but once again College Confidential is the real source for good college information.</p>
<p>I will be completely unbiased as I write this:</p>
<p>Yes $47 is a hefty price tag and most of you don’t need this book. However, there are many kids on CC that make baseless claims of Ivies being crapshoots and there being no way to improve your chances. Wrong. While this ebook may be dated in terms of HYPSM, its information is still quite pertinent to upper privates and lower Ivies. The book may not only demystify the admissions process for some of you but also help you because its bar and spike system does make sense.</p>
<p>However, I’ll say this again. A lot of you do not need this ebook at all, especially if you’re a senior. The information is most helpful to an underclassman.</p>
<p>Please use old threads for research. This one is five years old and the original poster has not been online since that time. If you have a question, please start a new discussion. Closing thread.</p>
