The Choice, a New York Times blog, reviewed two recently published college admissions books — Don’t Stalk the Admissions Officer: How to Survive the College Admissions Process without Losing Your Mind, for students, and I’m Going to College—Not You!: Surviving the College Search with Your Child
for parents.
“Don’t Stalk the Admissions Officer” by Risa Lewak, is humorous a guide for high school students. The three-part book will keep the reader laughing:
- Part One: “Enjoy High School Now, Avoid Therapy Later” which asserts that “Overachiever and Loser Have the Same Latin Root”
- Part Two: “Hot Sweats, Cold Sweats, and Difficulty Breathing — Either You’re Applying to College or You Have Malaria”
- Part Three: “The Envelope Arrives: Whatever Happens, Don’t Take It Out on the Mailman”
