<p>I've been looking around the entire CC forums, and I remember reading some good college admissions book names, including "A is for Admission," "Harvard Schmarvard," and such.</p>
<p>Can I get an author name for these, and some other titles?</p>
<p>hernandez i think her first name is michelle wrote a good book or 2 and there;s another book "How to get into the Ivy League and other Selective Colleges" go google or amazon it to get the author</p>
<p>Loren Pope wrote a book called <em>Colleges that Change Lives</em> . A good choice for smaller LACs. </p>
<p>The Fiske Guide is a very good one, too. Carolyn, who posts here a lot, also recommends <em>Admission Matters</em> by Springer. You might give those a try!</p>
<p><em>Harvard Schmarvard</em> is by Jay Mathews, an entertaining read.</p>
<p>For a behind the scenes look at the admission process at Wesleyan, read "The Gatekeepers" by Jacques Steinberg. It's not a "how to" book, but definitely interesting.</p>
