Acknowledgments

This book would not have been possible without the aid of the many individuals who helped to assemble and streamline the wealth of information within. We want to thank William Floyd for his early contributions to our outlines and research, and Corinne Dolci, Devery Rae Doran, Brad Kelly, Jason Morgan, and Rita Williams for their ability not only to deliver top-notch strategies and content but to do so under the added pressure of the changes to the work environment in the midst of COVID-19. Wed also like to recognize the contributions of the students and admissions officers who were willing to give us a peek behind the curtains of their work. And of course, an extra special thank you to Julia Moody, who graciously contributed the expertise that she daily brings to our College Admissions Counseling division to this print title, working above and beyond not only to develop chapters for us, but to fact-check and revise other sections as necessary.

Of course, the development of a book is only half the storywhen it comes to filling the blank pages, this book would not have been possible without the tireless dedication of our Director of Production, Deborah Weber, and her team of production editors, Liz Dacey and Emma Parker, who double- and triple-checked to make sure we hadnt missed anything. Finally, wed also like to thank our editors Anna Goodlett, for jumping feet first into this project with eyes wide open for consistency, and Aaron Riccio, for taking the lead on this brand-new title.
