While Ivy League colleges are among the most selective in the US (with admissions rates ranging from 5.9 percent to 14 percent) there are many other equally selective colleges throughout the country. These include, but are not limited to: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Chicago, Duke University, Stanford University, and Northwestern University. Besides selectivity, these Ivy Plus colleges are thought to share similar values around academic and professional excellence, intellectual curiosity, leadership, and civic engagement.

The book is one of the most authoritative resources for navigating through the nebulous process of admission to elite schools in the United States. In this essential book, Mehta and Dixit guide applicants to colleges that are right for them. The authors illustrate how a holistic approach and attention to detail in showcasing an applicant's strengths works wonders in the admission process. Mehta and Dixit understand the needs and goals of pre-college students.
