<p>I've just started thinking about the college admissions process and am already lost. Is there a good book out there that I can look at and use as a reference? What are the top books in this area? (My ultimate goal is to get into a top-20 school) Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Internet. It's free and you can get about 100 times more info. Look at what site you're on. Ask away.</p>
<p>the endless book of CC</p>
<p>Fiske and The Insiders Guide (I think Yale publishes Insiders Guide) are very good and base reviews on interviews with students, so it isn't just a bunch of numbers.</p>

<p>I second these recommendations. Using them both together provides a pretty complete picture because Fiske focuses a lot more on academics while Insider's Guide focuses a lot more on social life.</p>
<p>"Admissions Matters" is a simple overview on the college search and admissions process.</p>
<p>Ditto lgm. Admission Matters was one of the best admission books I've read.</p>
