{"product_id":"from-preschool-to-grad-school-kim-palacios-9780985798307","title":"From Preschool to Grad School: Strategies for Success at Any Level of Competitive Admissions","description":"What if the best advice for improving your child's chances of getting into a great preschool and improving an adult's chances of getting into a great graduate school were the same? \"From Preschool to Grad School\" will show you-unequivocally-that it is. Together, the elements of the admissions process aim to predict whether the candidate will be capable and happy as a student, engaged as an alumnus, and become somebody whose actions after graduation improve the school's image. Schools need successful alumni in order to attract the best talent, charge sustainable tuition, and show a return on investment. This book exposes patterns found across application processes and deconstructs the vital role they play in candidate success. In doing so, it answers that critical and elusive question: what are the best schools really looking for? \"From Preschool to Grad School\" will help you master admissions fundamentals that will never change, such as: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe three things all schools want\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe two questions you must be able to answer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinding the bar (and knowing how you stack up)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCrafting your story\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeciphering unhelpful admissions committee jargon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAvoiding common mistakes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It will also address emerging issues, including: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdmissions consultants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelicopter parents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role of social and emerging media\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplication fraud and cheating in the digital age\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplication inflation and yield games\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternational enrollments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn-state vs. out-of-state applicants to state colleges\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe impact of declining public schools on private school admissions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCurrent competitive dynamics (e.g, application and enrollment volume, acceptance rates, testing trends, transfer rates, etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Palacios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0985798300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985798307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Luxe Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/16\/2013","brand":"Kim Palacios","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419125072127,"sku":"9780985798307","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e55dd57-f14c-4503-89db-2e0145dc10e9.jpg?v=1761509609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-preschool-to-grad-school-kim-palacios-9780985798307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
