Have you ever wondered exactly what is involved in applying and getting accepted to an Ivy League school? I’ll admit that I have, although I never had any dreams while growing up of attending one.

Michele Hernandez, a former admissions officer at Dartmouth has written a fantastic book entitled A Is for Admission; The Insider’s Guide to Getting into the Ivy League and Other Top Colleges that gives readers an inside look as to how selection for admission to these schools is really made. If you have a child (or know of one) who is heading to college in the next few years, this book is a wealth of information for those aspiring to attend an Ivy League or other top school. Have a small child at home? It’s still not too early to start preparing for their future.

Topics such as standardized test scores, class ranking, personal interviews, applications, and more are thoroughly discussed to give you an insiders edge as to what is expected of potential students.
About the author: Michele A. Hernandez graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1989. She served as an assistant director of admissions at Dartmouth College from 1992 to 1997. Currently, she is the president of Hernandez College Consulting LLC, one of the nation’s leading firms on helping students gain admission into top colleges.

    I could use this. We spent Monday at MIT with my son who is a high school senior. MIT is his number one choice for next year and Cornell is also on his list. I hope they have a section on how to pay for an ivy league school.
