謹以此文作為拋磚引玉。

書籍：

1] Ultimate College Guide 201x,

U.S. News & World Report

每年一本，是其著名網站（見下面）的補充。

2] Getting In! : the Zinch guide to college admissions and financial aid in the digital age, 

Steve Cohen, Anne Dwane, Paulo de Oliveira and Michael Muska

把申請美國大學的全過程講得很仔細。

3] 美國大學申請指南，張舜芳

幾本中文書只是譯作。這本書是作者的親身體驗。

4] America's best colleges for B students : a college guide for students without straight A's,

Tamra B.  Orr, Gen Tanabe and Kelly Tanabe

B students 才是占大多數的。

5] College admission : from application to acceptance, step by step, 

Robin Mamlet and Christine VanDeVelde

是2] 的補充。

6] Accepted! 50 successful college admission essays,

Gen Tanabe and Kelly Tanabe

入學文章的好範文。

7] The Insider's Guide to the Colleges, 201x（Yale Daily News）

也是每年一本。是作者採訪在校學生的實際觀感。比1] 更有可讀性。
