To impress the top-ranked college at admission time, high-school students must dash between classes and activities. They are stressed and overscheduled. Written by an experienced college counselor, College Unranked is an antidote designed to help students overcome outside commercial interference in college admissions. Thacker reminds readers that college choice and admission are a matter of individual choice, not a contest to get into the most prestigious university. In this book, he calls for changes in the admission policies and application strategies to allow applicants to discover the true purpose of college.
