Publisher's Synopsis
Generation YZ peers into the world of ultra selective admissions at elite American universities. It is meant to serve as a guide for students and families preparing to navigate the college application process. Why do straight A students get rejected? How do you write a compelling personal essay? What are the keys to standing out in a competitive crowd? Chapters provide useful insider tips that answer these questions and offer strategies related to securing admission at the most competitive schools while earning scholarships that would allow students to matriculate. The author draws on insight and expertise gained from positions held at Stanford University (Seasonal Reader), Bates College (Assistant Dean of Admission), and graduate school research in higher education at Middlebury College's MIIS Graduate School.
