Download or read book Secrets and Tips from a Harvard Mom written by Grace B. Sullivan and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ivy League admissions process has long been a highly competitive, cutthroat, and mysterious game, and success or failure often hinges not on an applicant's natural merit or intelligence, but on their skill at navigating these treacherous waters. Grace Sullivan maps out an insider's guide on how to play this game, how to work this high-stakes system, and how to maximize your odds of admission. Sullivan's daughter, currently a student at Harvard, was accepted by every school in the Ivy League, but her ease in gaining acceptances into the nation's most exclusive colleges often stunned her friends, for she wasn't regarded as a "nerd" or "child prodigy." The secret to her success lay in her preparation and the decisions made along her academic path. She knew how to play the game. The reality is most students are truly capable of getting A's and acing standardized exams. Many students who initially do poorly on standardized exams then excel when re-taking with the proper preparation, while many very advanced students often don't score as high as they could have because they failed to prepare in the best, most efficient fashion. This book is for the students who want to achieve their goals; this is the blueprint Sullivan used to give her daughter an academic edge and ace the SAT without spending a dime on tutoring. Every year so many parents think they can solve the Ivy admissions puzzle by throwing money at it - in the form of review books or prep courses or tutoring. The truth is that each year some B students get into Harvard while hundreds with perfect scores get rejected, and the difference is in the blueprint they followed. They played the game. Now it's your turn. -What are the Ivy League schools really looking for? What are the pitfalls to avoid? -How many AP courses should I take? -When and how should i prepare for the SAT's or ACT's? What are the finer points of the math sections that aren't covered in review books? -How can middle schoolers build the best foundation for high school? ...and much more. GRACE SULLIVAN has been a teacher and a tutor for the last 18 years at some of the best private schools in the nation. She recently completed a research project for one Ivy League university on the finer points of achieving success on the math portion of the SAT. She has also tutored and supervised hundreds of students from public, private, and home-schools alike, helping them achieve tremendous success in applying to the Ivy League by properly advising them on their academic paths.

Download or read book Salsa Dancing into the Social Sciences written by Kristin Luker and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-10 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You might think that dancing doesn’t have a lot to do with social research, and doing social research is probably why you picked this book up in the first place. But trust me. Salsa dancing is a practice as well as a metaphor for a kind of research that will make your life easier and better.” Savvy, witty, and sensible, this unique book is both a handbook for defining and completing a research project, and an astute introduction to the neglected history and changeable philosophy of modern social science. In this volume, Kristin Luker guides novice researchers in: knowing the difference between an area of interest and a research topic; defining the relevant parts of a potentially infinite research literature; mastering sampling, operationalization, and generalization; understanding which research methods best answer your questions; beating writer’s block. Most important, she shows how friendships, non-academic interests, and even salsa dancing can make for a better researcher. “You know about setting the kitchen timer and writing for only an hour, or only 15 minutes if you are feeling particularly anxious. I wrote a fairly large part of this book feeling exactly like that. If I can write an entire book 15 minutes at a time, so can you.”

Book excerpt: b> The Singularity Prize In 2030, our planet teeters on the brink of political, economic, and environmental catastrophe that threatens our collective survival, will Professor Julian Marshall be able to save us all as he navigates the crisis-riddled, yet superintelligent world of the near future? Climate change, poverty, epidemic disease, human conflict, terrorism, and famine ravage the globe. Amidst the chaos, the United States and China compete for the thirty-billion-dollar Singularity Prize to be awarded by a hedge fund billionaire to the team that creates a machine intelligence superior to humans. With hackers entrenched in a cyberwar that cripples the grid in multiple countries and a nuclear weapon threatening a major city, Julian Marshall , leader of the Berkeley based US team, knows that a recursively improving superintelligence with inviolable ethical codes could be humanity¿s only hope. Love and betrayal threaten Julian and his team of coders, distracting them from their life-or-death task. Meanwhile, the deep vaults of our primeval past extend a long arm of intelligence and survival to Julian's world of 2030. Arion and his clan¿s collective intelligence survived the great Toba volcanic eruption around 74,000 years ago and began the great migrations out of Africa to populate the world. Could this tribe of the past hold the key to surviving the future? The Singularity Prize is an epic chronicle of humankind's potential grandest triumph.
