Book Report: “Acceptance” by David L. Marcus

The college process has officially begun in my house. The other day, my daughter, Nicole, a rising junior at Mamaroneck High School, walked into my office and asked me to buy her a college guide book. I walked into the supply closet, pulled out one of those 700-page paperback tomes — listing hundreds of colleges and universities — and placed it in her hands. I’d bought it a few weeks ago in anticipation of this moment, but to avoid triggering any pre-college search anxiety, I waited until she was ready. It seemed that moment had arrived.
