While doing some research, I came across 'The Guide to the Most Competitive Colleges' by B.E.S Publishing. It sounds like a valuable resource. Has anyone here read the book and can suggest if it's worth buying?
While I can't provide you with a copy of the guide due to copyright regulations, I can share that many find such resources helpful. Reading from a variety of sources can offer multiple perspectives on college admissions, which is beneficial. However, given the rapidly changing college admissions landscape, you may want to supplement your research with online resources that are more frequently updated.
For instance, CollegeVine's blog offers a wealth of information about various colleges, the competitiveness of their admissions cycles, and tips for applying. Other worthwhile resources include college websites themselves, where you can learn about programs and hear directly from admissions committees. Always make sure the information you're accessing is up-to-date and relevant to your admissions cycle.
Remember that guides and books, while helpful, should not be the sole basis of your decision-making process. It is always best to use them alongside other resources.
CollegeVine’s Q&A seeks to offer informed perspectives on commonly asked admissions questions. Every answer is refined and validated by our team of admissions experts to ensure it resonates with trusted knowledge in the field.
