They detail the dimensions of a perfect applicant; the 11 most common profiles and their strengths and weaknesses; application components such as transcripts, test scores, essays, recommendations, and interviews; strategies for 35 top programs; putting together a game plan; and what happens after submission, including deciding on a school.
