Rating: Summary: Become Informed Review: This is a book that will shatter your incomplete view of education. But don't just believe me. Get it. You'll see. And if you want to construct an understanding of what education in America is really supposed to be all about, get the book (right here on Amazon.com) "West Point" by Norman Thomas Remick. It's the only one from which you can become fully informed, and ready to realize the full value of "Looking Beyond The Ivy League".
Rating: Summary: sappy little book Review: This is a sappy little book with a propagandistic quality to it. I resented buying it. I prefer Choosing the right College by the conservative outfit (published by Eerdman's, 2000) whose name I forget. I am not conservative, but they at least have a viewpoint. This is just mindless trash that reiterates whatever the school has told him.Garbage for pumpkin heads.
Rating: Summary: Get the education you need not the pretensions you want Review: Written by someone who knows their stuff (his job was to help people get into college) this book is about looking at things from a different perspective. Seeing beyond the titles of schools that really don't have a better education than those lesser known schools. Provides a list of other schools to look into as well as some helpful hints as to get into college. A helpful if not essential part of your college collection.
