Reviews

[Kari · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very heavy on COVID adjustments - focused on those who graduated in 2023. Needs an update. Also really not specific.

[Karen Leonard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy and quick read, very good for someone like me - a parent with a high school junior - who didn't go through the college application system in the US. It was helpful to get a baseline of the overall process, before diving into other more targeted books.
