With intense competition for admission to schools all around the country, students need to know what colleges are looking for in an application, brag sheet, essay, and interview. Dr. Cohen delivers the goods. She has a program with an amazingly successful track record. It comes complete with worksheets, timelines, and checklists to help students demystify the college admissions process and get into that dream college.
“My daughters are a true example of what can be accomplished simply by reading a book. I read The Truth About Getting In. We took it to heart, used it as our reference tool every step of the way. My oldest daughter received a full tuition scholarship for four years at Converse College, my next daughter is a Belk Scholar at Davidson…..We would like to express our thanks for the guidance. Thank you for all the help so far. I am constantly amazed at my daughters achievements. We have recommended this book every time someone asked how we did it.
