<p>Hey, what books would you guys recommend that I get to help me with the admission's process? I was planning on getting On Writing the College Application Essay by Harry Bauld (I heard it was really good). I also remember someone on CC recommending a book by a former Dartmouth adcom, but I can't remember it's name. Does anyone know what I am talking about?</p>
<p>The D adcom is Michelle Hernandez. I’ve not read her book, but have a hard time recommending it given the broader scheme of her college admissions operation.</p>
<p>I like Admission Matters by Sally Springer, there’s a new edition out. It’s an up to date, realistic and reasonable approach IMO.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the suggestion! Also, what do you mean by the broader scheme of her college admissions operation?</p>
<p>Google her and you’ll see. For example, a 4-day Application Boot Camp for 14k (lodging not included) :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Lol, this goes a little beyond a helpful book.</p>
<p>Don’t by “A is for Admissions” by Michelle Hernandez, the Dartmouth woman. That book sucks. Good for almost nothing.</p>
