Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a professional to guide you through the college admissions process? And wouldn’t it be even better if that person knew the process inside and out from the admissions officer’s side of the desk; and would be able to help you make the best college decisions with your child? Marilee Jones does just that and more. She is presenting a groundbreaking new paradigm for navigating the college admissions process in a way that best supports the child: coaching the parents.
As a seasoned and highly regarded admissions professional with thirty years of experience at a highly-competitive university, Marilee provides an advantage to parents and their children with her unique insights from inside the college admissions process itself. This "insider's coaching" is geared toward making the entire college admissions process less stressful and more successful for students and parents alike.
Working with Marilee, parents will learn real information about how colleges admit students. She provides an insider’s look at such things as:
‘secrets’ to understanding and finding the right match for your child
how to find clues on the web about a college’s culture
the importance of such things as athletics, GPA, standardized tests, legacies, and giving in the admissions process; and how they are used to create a class
how to approach the college tour, including the most important question that no one ever asks admissions officers
what a great college essay looks like
the simplest, most effective way to prepare for a college interview
how and when to most effectively communicate with admissions officers
what you should do to help your child though the process
what you should NOT do because it can negatively affect your child’s case
“I can’t turn my computer off tonight without sending you a sincere note of thanks for how you’ve changed our lives for the better, Marilee. Your advice has been priceless. College admissions seems so ruthless now - was it this way always? Sad that so few others seem to remember that there is a real person behind the documents. You have reassured us that ‘everything always works out’ for us and that we’ll be OK in the end. I can sleep in peace. Thank you for your wisdom.”
Gail P, Greenwich, CT
“This note is from a believer. I heard you speak last year and recognized myself in so many of your examples of poor parent behavior. My son heard you too and together we decided to follow your advice. The year is over and you were right. My wife and I are so proud of the way our son handled his applications and all of his ups and downs. You’ll be happy to know that it all worked out and he’s happy. I’m a better father because of you, Ms. Jones. How can I ever thank you!

"Her book has added to her reputation as a kind of guru of the movement to tame the college admissions frenzy.”

“Our book group just read your book and it sparked more conversation than we’ve had in the seven years we’ve been reading together. Being successful professionals with busy lives and even busier children, we’re all trying to figure out how to find the time to just stop and enjoy our lives amidst so much pressure. Some of us find ourselves quoting you to our husbands and kids now, so you are our hero. ;-) Dr. Ginsburg’s advice about raising healthy children has also been extraordinarily helpful. We recommend your book to other book groups and we eagerly await your next one.”
