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



Getting into college these days has gotten so much more competitive since I applied. I am not really sure if I could get into my alma mater today if I were to apply with my old high school grades/SAT scores/activities. Ah well, good thing I don’t have to apply to college again.

This is a very funny and readable account of what the college application process is like today. As he guides/pushes his son through the process of looking/applying/deciding where to go, the author writes about college rankings, SAT scores, and the whole industry that surrounds getting into college. A fast, interesting read.
