Soundbite: The Admissions Secret That Gets You Into College and Beyond
 
Take control of the college admissions process by crafting your ultimate statement of self-identity—from America's College Counselor.

On average, an admissions committee takes seconds to decide whether to admit a student. They must sum up the student in one sentence that will tell them if a student is a good fit.

What is the best way to transform the stress of this admissions process into an empowering journey that paves the way to success?

Written by a former dean of admissions and lifelong student advocate, SOUNDBITE guides parents and students through the admissions process from start to finish. Armed with her knowledge of how the system works, Sara Harberson shares tried-and-tested exercises that have helped thousands of students gain admission to their school of choice. The "Soundbite," her signature tool, presents an opportunity for students to formulate their own personal definition of what is best. With this Soundbite in place as their foundation, the tables are turned: the student's fate no longer rests on a Soundbite composed by an admissions officer. Instead, students employ their own Soundbite to define themselves on their own terms. SOUNDBITE shifts the way we talk about the admissions process—from colleges dictating results to the student taking the lead.
