6th Edition The Editors of Barron’s Educational Series, Inc. - All books by this author The nation’s most academically competitive four-year colleges receive detailed descriptions and appraisals in this updated book, each entry written by a recent graduate of the school. Here are insights that simply aren’t available in ordinary college directories, including insiders’ assessments of campus environment, social life, and nearby off-campus activities that are of interest to students. Each profile also includes the standard “need-to-know” facts and figures, such as admission requirements, academic programs, up-to-date tuitions and fees, application procedures, sources of financial aid, library and research facilities, student body composition, and admission contacts. Because these schools are highly competitive, they are necessarily selective. A detail-filled Most Competitive Comparison Chart offers at-a-glance statistics to help readers compare each college. High school student counselors will value this comprehensive directory as a vital addition to their reference shelf. High-achieving high school students and their parents will also turn to this book when seeking information on America’s very best colleges and universities. More than 75 leading colleges are individually described in this directory. From the Reviews: Praise for the previous edition. “This is a most unique volume in the crowded college guide field. It deserves a place in all libraries.” Marshall E. Nunn, ARBAonline, American Reference Books Annual 2005, Volume 36 "...this book does a much better job of describing the unique characteristics of the 50 plus schools it profiles than almost anything else on the market...The book impressed me. It should impress counselors and it should be very helpful to students seeking to distinguish the life style on campus from one school to another."
