Two expert college admissions consultants—a mother-daughter team—share their step-by-step, proven strategy for creating an application that stands out and gets you IN!

Enlivened with instructive case studies as well as entertaining New Yorker cartoons, this book carefully guides students through the application process, showing them how to rise to the top of an applicant pool of thousands. And unlike most books about “getting in,” IN!’s lessons do not end at college acceptance. Rather than viewing college admissions merely as a hurdle to be quickly and painlessly cleared, Luterman and Bloom present the process as an opportunity for students to mature, expand their horizons, and discover what makes them tick. IN! gets students in, and gives them the tools and confidence they’ll need for future success.
