"A fresh, (not-so) Clueless teen's-eye view of college admissions!"

But as difficult as securing a marriage to a man with a large fortune may have been during the Regency, the college admissions marketplace of the twenty-first century may prove to be even more perilous to navigate... Warning: Some mild sexual references and salty language.

"Horses get used as medicine for messed up people. But I want to fix horses, not people. More often than not, messed up people get in the way of good horses."
