You're Accepted guides applicants step by step through their college applications to reach not only a coveted school acceptance but also something far more valuable: self-knowledge and self-acceptance. While the angle is philosophical and self-reflective, the primary purpose of the book is to help applicants gain admissions; this is a results oriented book. The author addresses myths and facts about each phase of the process, introduces user- friendly philosophy to give a new perspective, offers case studies, and presents exercises to guide the reader through this new approach. However, with You're Accepted, applicants will gain not only college admissions but also an understanding that life is bigger than getting into school, a perspective that is often lost during this stressful time. Ultimately the lessons learned from this guide will transcend the application process, as readers gain insight into their gifts, values and passions in order to align their life's purpose and goals with who they truly are.
