Acceptance
By: Marcus, David L.
Published by: The Penguin Group (USA)
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist spends a year with a legendary high school guidance counselor who gets kids into the right colleges by focusing on self-discovery rather than test scores, grades, and the other traditional tools of the trade. Gwyeth Smith, known as Smitty, has made a national reputation by flouting the conventions of the college application ritual.

The kid who plunges into depression after being rejected by Columbia? The overachieving Korean American boy worried about reverse discrimination? Smitty has answers for all of them. While Smitty excels at easing the pressure of the college hunt, his success comes from imposing a differentand deeperchallenge. He makes kids articulate (orally and in writin
