Chapter Highlights
The columns are divided into seven chapters for easy reading with room to take notes for each topic.
In Chapter I Austin shares why he chose to apply to the most competitive universities in America and the surprising results.
Chapter II is primarily handled by Jeannette as she walks you through the younger years and discusses the choices she made to help her students reach their potential. She is extremely transparent as she shares her fears and struggles along the way.
Chapter III deals with each year of high school and gives you a bird’s eye view of the Freshman through Senior year.
Chapter IV gives you the scoop on standardized testing and high school academics.
Chapter V takes a hard look at what makes a great extracurricular record. If you are doing what everyone around you is doing, you are headed for disappointment when it comes to college admissions.
Chapter VI offers the nuts and bolts of actually applying to college - applications, essays, letters of recommendation, and more.
And finally, in Chapter VII, Austin interviews his friends in the top universities around the country and effectively dispels the common myths about attending such institutions. Prepare to have your eyes opened to the truth regarding strong Christian kids in secular college environments.
