The Curmudgeon's Guide to College Admissions
Advice for parents of high schoolers from a former college admissions officer, private college counselor, and author of THE GOLDEN TICKET: A LIFE IN COLLEGE ADMISSIONS ESSAYS (a memoir, not a how-to). Occasionally grouchy, but always from a good place.
“Irena Smith's book The Golden Ticket is a must read for any parent who has kids with difficulties or issues (e.g., all of them) and this newsletter provides valuable insight and reminds us all that status isn't everything!”
