College acceptance and attendance is very important to the families that employ my services.

I created The Ultimate College Planning Guide for Busy Parents because so many parents would ask me questions about getting their children off to college:

• Should s/he take the SAT or PSAT?
• When should s/he take it?
• How can we make our child's college application more attractive?
• What about the essays? When should they be written?
• Is freshman year too early to be planning for college?

The list goes on. I designed this guide to answer many of those questions and more.

This guide gives a clear outline of what to do during each year of high school to help your child prepare to provide the best possible application to the colleges of his/her choice.

It's nice for parents (who always have plenty to do) to be able to open the guide to the place relevant to them and get immediate answers to their questions.

College acceptance rates, particularly to top tier schools, have been on the decline. Parents are very concerned about their children's chances of getting into the schools of their choice.

Many students with high GPAs, stellar test scores, and number 1 class rankings apply to top schools and are denied admission.

One way for your child's application stand out is the personal essay. This is something unique to your child that helps admissions officers get to know him or her.

I've been asked many times, "What makes a good college admissions essay?"

There are many components to a quality essay, and I talk about them and share examples of not only college admissions essays, but several supplements as well in this resource: The Essays That Got Me Into Yale.

Please note that I am offering these not to promote plagiarism in any way. A student's personal essay should be entirely reflective of the student.

These essays are meant to serve as examples of the kind of writing that helped me get into my schools of interest (Yale, Duke, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, University of Southern California, and Boston University).
