Accepted!: Secrets to Gaining Admission to the World's Top Universities

This will likely become the gold standard book to learn how to make it to the top world universities. Stunningly focused, jam-packed with a gold mine of information, and yet replete with plenty of humorous anecdotes, this book is impossible to put down - I read it end-to-end in just one sitting.Jamie finished his undergrad/masters in just 3 years, building Crimson Education while still in school. There is no one better to demystify the admissions process. Yet through his book, he makes all his success seem strangely accessible - he was that burger-flipping Yu-Gi-Oh loving teenager that many kids of his generation were. He decries “tall poppy syndrome” and encourages setting lofty goals, but with concrete advice on how to achieve them, from time management tips to exploring your strengths to seeking mentorship. In this way, his book is quite inspiring not only to parents and schoolchildren, but also to young adults.The focus of the book is on US schools, which makes sense as the US admissions process is holistic requiring demonstrated leadership in extra-curriculars, but also the most complicated, with the gymnastics required in crafting a compelling story. I personally secured admissions to Oxford quickly and solely on the grounds of my academics, but I had to put in a lot more effort with my US school applications. The book provides case studies and clarity on how to best approach this.Jamie makes a compelling case, with powerful examples, for why it is all so worthwhile. The best US schools consistently top world rankings, act as a signal for landing high-powered careers, are an incubator into venture-backed entrepreneurship, and possess, as Jamie puts it, an unrivaled “culture of possibility.” This book is a must read.

If you agree that the window of opportunity ref. university admission is finite, driving fast in the right direction becomes a life altering eventFantastic read on the what, why and how of steering into the right lanes on getting accepted at better universities in the US. Great insights from Jamie's personal experience. Must read

Beautifully written, equal parts engaging, personal and heartfelt story and in depth expert guide to an otherwise rather daunting summit.

Written simply, the book provides a great insight into how admissions work. I am reading it for my child to understand how admissions to top universities work. Many universities have made systems that benefit them and this book has tips that will help students understand if it is worth going through that rigor and if so, then how. My child is a sophomore. I wish I could have read this book sooner.
