Because of their renowned research findings, alumni successes, educational and athletic opportunities, networking connections, and top-tier name recognitions, the Ivy League universities have first-rate reputations that not many other colleges can claim. The Ivy League universities aim to create value in the world, so they desire students who are going to accomplish groundbreaking feats or create something world-changing. Additionally, they want students who are going to positively contribute to their campus, whether that is academically, athletically, or artistically, with the hope that they can help and inspire their fellow peers. Since some of the most intelligent, advanced, and successful students in the world apply to the Ivy League each year, acceptance into these colleges is incredibly competitive. Admissions officers cherry-pick the students who they believe will make a positive difference on the world, which can be done in many forms.

The Ivy League schools - with their rich traditions, impeccable reputations, famous alums and massive endowments - are the jewels of the American collegiate system. My big sister goes to one of these schools and that makes me curious about them. What is the big deal about the Ivy League schools? To find out, my younger brother and I did some research and then went on a road trip with my parents to visit all eight schools, starting at U Penn and ending at Princeton about a week later. My brother used his research for a social studies fair where he got 1st place in the regional competition, and I used my research to write this book. During our journey, we did research to include school traditions, the school's surroundings, basic information about admission criteria, financial aid and cost, and what students are saying about the culture and dorms of the school. Trust me, as a pre-teen at the time, I even researched the important stuff, like the unbelievable myths and legends, running trails, and the quality of hot chocolate in the area! So parents and students, if you are curious about the Ivy League schools and want to get a view of what they are all about, then this book is for you. So, enjoy learning about the Ivy League!

The bestselling author of Pledged returns with a groundbreaking look at the pressure to achieve faced by America's teens In Pledged, Alexandra Robbins followed four college girls to produce a riveting narrative that read like fiction. Now, in The Overachievers, Robbins uses the same captivating style to explore how our high-stakes educational culture has spiraled out of control. During the year of her ten-year reunion, Robbins goes back to her high school, where she follows heart-tuggingly likeable students including "AP" Frank, who grapples with horrifying parental pressure to succeed; Audrey, whose panicked perfectionism overshadows her life; Sam, who worries his years of overachieving will be wasted if he doesn't attend a name-brand college; Taylor, whose ambition threatens her popular girl status; and The Stealth Overachiever, a mystery junior who flies under the radar. Robbins tackles teen issues such as intense stress, the student and teacher cheating epidemic, sports rage, parental guilt, the black market for study drugs, and a college admissions process so cutthroat that students are driven to suicide and depression because of a B. With a compelling mix of fast-paced narrative and fascinating investigative journalism, The Overachievers aims both to calm the admissions frenzy and to expose its escalating dangers.

We Know Exactly How You Feel... We've been in your shoes before, and we've succeeded. We all had our weaknesses - for some, it was a low GPA; others, lack of 'Club President' on their resume, not taking an AP or IB class; still others went to schools where they were literally the first ones ever accepted into an Ivy League-caliber school. Why are we doing this? Part of the motivation is seeing the helplessness and stress of our friends going through the process - from younger sisters to family friends to mentorship programs. We see you guys (and girls) asking the same questions and making the same mistakes. We feel like the path to admissions success can be SO OBVIOUS - but only once you've already been through it! We want to help - and after personally experiencing this ourselves, we know that Kaplan and Princeton Review can only go so far. We've decided to share our stories, in detail, so you can learn our exact strategies, insights, techniques, and even materials that we used. What do you have to do to get into your dream school? We can guide you every step of the way to your Ivy League entrance.

With over 18 years of experience in the education-counseling sector, I have gained an in-depth knowledge of the US, UK, Canadian & Australian college and university systems. Understanding the programs on offer and the unique personalities of each school has enabled me to easily match my students to their ideal schools, which leads to their being happy in college and in consequence exceling academically. During my years spent in India, I became increasingly conscious that not everyone attending high school outside the US had a clear vision of how the admissions process actually works (and to be frank I suspect that many of my students attending high schools in US are equally confused about it). This is why I finally sat down and decided to explain the process in full in a book of this nature. Over the years I have been exceptionally successful in placing numerous students into the 8 US Ivy League schools (Harvard, UPenn, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth and Cornell), and also into the other top schools in the US (including MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford, Chicago, Northwestern, and Duke). I've also had huge success placing my students in many of the 20 UK Russell group universities (which include Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, UCL, Imperial, and LSE). One of the key reasons for my success has been my in depth understanding of what each and every college and university is looking for, besides the top grades. I work with my students (from grade 8 up) to help them improve both their academic and extracurricular profiles, so they stand out among all other applicants. This book will help you understand the rules of the game of winning a place at your top choice school. Through it I aim to enable you to significantly improve your chances of winning that coveted place you dream of. I aim to guide you to strategically select the colleges that are looking for students just like you, and to give you an understanding of how the US universities and colleges assess your application and select the candidates that best fit their profile. This is the book for you if - * You want to maximize your chances of winning a place at the school/s of your dreams * You want to know why you have to take classes outside your major area of academic or vocational interest at all US Universities * You want to know which Technical Specialist schools boast the best gender balances * You need help choosing which colleges/universities to apply to * You want to know which schools are in the Ivy League and what the Ivy League actually is * You want to know which schools offer top programs in Engineering or Management at the undergraduate level * You want to know what Pre-Med and Pre-Law involve * You want to know what Greek life actually means * You want to understand how the size of a school will impact your student experience * You want to know which schools have the best ethnic and international diversity * You want to know how US schools assess applicants * You want to know how to write a winning application essay * You want to know how to make your application stand out * You want to know about the SAT and the ACT * You want to understand the application options like ED * You need help to ace your college interview * You want to know about Merit Scholarships * You want to know about Need-Based Financial Aid
