NEW EDITION
Peterson's Get a Jump! Series
Winning the College Admission Game:
Strategies for Parents and Students
Success strategies from a former Dean of Admission
In his lectures and in this guide, author Peter Van Buskirk argues that the college
admission process is much like a game. And like any game, competitors need
to know the rules, the players, and the ins and outs of how the process works
in order to succeed and find the perfect college fit.
Since closer parent-student collaboration breeds a more successful application,
material is presented to both students and parents directly in a flip book format.
Readers simply flip the book over to move from the student section to the
parent section.
As a former Dean of Admission at Franklin & Marshall College, Van Buskirk
offers insider knowledge about how admission committees really work. Also
included: sample admission planning calendars and tips on choosing high
school classes.
