<p>As a neurotic parent hoping my kid will reach the college of his dreams I’ve been looking for the right guide for some time. I was never too sure about ‘Getting Your Kid In To College’ ([Amazon.com:</a> How to Survive Getting Your Kid Into College: By Hundreds of Happy Parents (9781933512112): Hundreds of Heads, Rachel Korn: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Survive-Getting-Your-Into-College/dp/1933512113]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Survive-Getting-Your-Into-College/dp/1933512113)) mentioned above. </p>
<p>I’ve purchased a couple recently and found the following valuable though:</p>
<p>1 - [Amazon.com:</a> Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (9781594202841): Amy Chua: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Hymn-Tiger-Mother-Chua/dp/1594202842/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335726098&sr=1-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Hymn-Tiger-Mother-Chua/dp/1594202842/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335726098&sr=1-1)
2 - [How</a> To Get Into Harvard |](<a href=“http://howtogetintoharvard.net/]How”>http://howtogetintoharvard.net/)
3 - [Amazon.com:</a> How They Got into Harvard: 50 Successful Applicants Share 8 Key Strategies for Getting into the College of Your Choice (9780312343750): Staff of the Harvard Crimson: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/How-They-Got-into-Harvard/dp/0312343752/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335726253&sr=1-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/How-They-Got-into-Harvard/dp/0312343752/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335726253&sr=1-1)</p>
<p>Michele Hernandez book on Admissions is another great one too.</p>
