COLLEGE ADMISSIONS CRACKED Saving Your Kid (and Yourself) from the Madness

Author and college admissions expert Jill Margaret Shulman, who narrates her audiobook, invites parents of college applicants to take a deep breath while talking them down from the ledge of the anxiety-filled process of getting into college. Offering well-detailed instructions for every step of the way, Shulman energetically instructs while attempting to inject a bit of humor and perspective into the proceedings. Though some listeners may be able to do with less of the "it will be okay, just breathe" tone (initially reassuring, eventually repetitious), Shulman offers sound advice, lists of useful resources, and a helpful timeline to keep parents and students on track. Often genuinely funny and never condescending, this listen will help parents stay grounded through the grueling trek of college admissions.
