Description
Petersons Guide to the Most Competitive Colleges 2009 Edition by Barron's Educational Series
The USA'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 colleges 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-achieving 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.
