Publisher Description
There is a crisis that millions of families face each fall: how to get their child into highly selective colleges. In 2014, the Ivy League received almost 250,000 applications for 14,000 spots, while one of the top public universities, UCLA, received over 85,000 applications for 5,800 spots in its freshman class. This crisis spirals out of control as the number of applicants from the U.S. and abroad skyrockets.
Whether your child dreams of attending Harvard or UCLA, Earning Admission is the blueprint that empowers your child to use strategic planning and marketing to stand out amongst a sea of applicants and earn admission. This step-by-step guide to earning admission teaches:
•How your child can select and take classes in high school to stand out from other straight 'A' students.
•How your child can dramatically increase her odds of admission by strategically choosing a major.
•How your child can write a personal statement that sets her apart from other applicants by demonstrating perspective, passion, and maturity.
•How your child can build a slate of extracurricular activities that admissions officers value.
•How your child can secure hundreds of thousands of dollars of merit scholarships or need-based grants even if your family earns over $100,000 per year.

An informative, transparent, and concise guide to earning admission into highly selective colleges
This well written guide is a must read for high schoolers. The author covers every topic you need to know about applying for college, such as courses, extracurricular activities, entrance exam scores, essays, letters of recommendation, and much more. Most importantly, he employs strategic planning by utilizing those useful components to construct an enthralling application theme in the end. I highly recommend this book as it’s worth reading sooner rather than later!
Magnificent and Masterful Novel
Earning Admission ties together everything one needs for success throughout the admission process. With high entrance exam scores and a well woven application theme, Greg argues, one will look much more professional and has a much better chance of being admitted to highly selective colleges.
I highly recommend everyone reads this book!
5 years too late! Wish I had this resource when I applied.
Wow, this book is an extremely insightful guide to the complicated nuances surrounding university admissions. Having graduated from a top 15 university, I wish this book had been available when I was applying. Not only would it have made the process much easier, but I may have been able to gain acceptance from a top 10 university instead. I will absolutely be recommending this to my younger siblings and to any family friends that are applying to college in the near future.
