Think you can't get into a great college?
Think again!

Are you hyper-intelligent? Self-directed? A late-bloomer? Or just different? Then you need a great school that will challenge, nurture, inspire and motivate you—and Cool Colleges has got 'em. Fully revised since the first edition, Cool Colleges covers the most exciting schools in the U.S. and Canada, with a new chapter on eco-schools, an update on tuition-free schools and the total low-down on the so-called top-ranked schools.

You'll get the scoop on:

• What the Ivy League is and what it really wants
• Totally free schools, including one where financial need is a requirement for admission
• Universities that don't give grades
• Schools that don't want your SAT scores
• Data on the highest (and lowest) paying majors
• The schools that graduate the most millionaires
• Men's, women's and minority-focused colleges
• Schools where you can design your own degree program
• A college where you can hike and camp your way to a degree
• A college that runs its own ranch on an 80-square-mile campus
• Science and engineering schools wheree undergrads get their own labs
• The most competititve colleges, including one that rejects 95% of applicants
• Campuses where students love to study, even on Saturday nights
• Schools that offer programs in computer game studies, comedy, auctioneering, special-effects makeup and more

Cool Colleges is the resource for finding your dream school—and gives you the edge you'll need to get accepted.
