The International Family Guide to US University Admissions by Jennifer Ann Aquino is a helpful guide that will aid those hundreds of thousands of international students and their families to make sense of the US applications and admissions process from start to finish. The book will guide readers in understanding the application and evaluation process in depth, show them how to make a selection by understanding what will be a good fit, demonstrate the difference between SAT and ACT exams, and offer case studies and words of advice from former students and their families. This book has answers to all the questions, and the insights and techniques will help to make the application process simpler and easier.

It has always been tough for international students to apply to American universities, and the author’s guidance makes the application process appear less daunting to students. The author handles the topic methodically and extensively, leaving the applicants enlightened and educated about the entire admission process. The book is straightforward and concise and tells the applicants precisely what needs to be done when and how. It is also helpful when it comes to choosing the right university.

The application process for US universities runs through the twelve chapters in the book. Every chapter begins with an overview of the time period, what the focus should be and why, and is followed by Milestones that will explain the tasks that need focus. The worksheets at the end of each chapter are helpful as well to applicants. This book is a must-have for parents, applicants, and student counselors and advisors as it will guide them properly to enroll in the US university of their choice.
