Summary: What You Should Know
Comment: I find this to be a great general resource for statistics, commentaries, and lots of other information. Outside of the scope of a resource such as "The Insider's Guide.." is an explanation of the real purpose of higher education, something you should understand when thinking about and choosing a college. As an advisor, a book I recommend that is excellent for that purpose is "West Point: Thomas Jefferson: Character Leadership Education" by Norman Thomas Remick. After going through "The Insider's Guide to Colleges 2004", read the Remick book before you make a decision that could be a lifetime mistake.
Rating: 5
Summary: This book is excellent.
Comment: The book is NOT biased at all when it comes to reviewing the Ivy League (or other schools), including Yale. Everything in this book is more or less accurate because it is the ONLY guide that is updated every year, and the ONLY guide that interviews many students in order to get a complete picture. Don't trust the other guides; they keep information exactly the same, year after year.

Summary: Biased Ivy League reviews
Comment: This is a decent guide for the most part. The trouble is that the authors' biases are clear when they review Yale's "rival" schools. Is anyone surprised that this book makes Yale out to be the flawless shining star of the Ivy League and Harvard, Princeton, et al. to be overrated, filled with unhappy students, etc.? The not-so-subtle advertising compromises the book's integrity where the Ivy League is concerned. If those are the schools that interest you, Fiske and Princeton Review are better bets.
