"Winning the College Admission Game" Book Cover
Written by Peter Van Buskirk, former dean of admission at Franklin & Marshall College, "Winning the College Admission Game" is presented as a "flip-book," or two books in one, providing strategies for finding and getting into the college best suited for the student, with specific advice for both parents and students.
"'Winning the College Admission Game' exposes common myths about the college admission process," says Del Franz, editor-in-chief at Petersons, a leading provider of education and a career guidance. "The author takes a truly student-centered approach to providing practical advice that helps students find and get into the college that fits them best."
"Winning the College Admission Game: Strategies for Parents and Students" by Peter Van Buskirk is available wherever books are sold. According to Edward Fiske, author of the Fiske Guides to Colleges, Van Buskirk speaks with the wisdom of both a veteran admission officer and a loving parent.
