A broad look at college admissions

William H. Floyd’s book brings together essays originally published in the Admissions Abstract newsletter, examining several parts of the college application process. Its coverage includes the wider admissions landscape, standardized testing, and application essays, giving the subject more room than a checklist-driven, step-by-step guide. The description frames the book as a resource for understanding what applicants and the adults supporting them may encounter; its emphasis is on exploring the process and its components. Because the essays address admissions as it is changing, readers should treat claims about current policies or requirements as the book’s presentation, not as a substitute for checking with colleges or other relevant sources.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults preparing to apply to college
  • Parents and guardians supporting a student through applications
  • School counselors and independent educational consultants

Book overview

Each year, over one-and-a-half million students get into selective colleges. The college application process is also one of the most stressful, difficult, and anxiety-inducing moments for most teenagers.

How to Get Into College helps students, parents, school counselors, and independent educational consultants navigate college admissions. This is not a step-by-step guide, but an examination of all aspects of applying to college to make sure everyone is completely up to date on what is happening in college admissions. This is the information you need to know about getting into college.

This book is a compilation of writing originally published on the Admissions Abstract Substack newsletter. This series of essays covers the admissions landscape, standardized testing, and college application essays in depth. You can't know what you're facing in applying to college without reading How to Get Into College.
