Crazy U: One Dad's Crash Course in Getting His Kid Into College by Andrew Ferguson

4.0

This is an insightful look at the get-into-the-best-college-ever craze from a parent perspective, but was helpful to me as a teacher also. Ferguson spends a chapter each on topics like why we're so obsessed with college anyway, figuring out where to go, why it costs so much, writing the personal essay, should you pay an expert, etc., all through the lens of his own son's applications and decisions. It's not a how-to book, by any means, but brings up a lot of issues to consider in a light-hearted way.
