excellent guide to selectivity of various colleges

I bought the Pocket Guide to Colleges 2 weeks ago. I 've enjoyed various college guides for a long time. I have 2 daughters who graduated from high schools in 1992 and 1998. They applied to schools mostly considered at least Highly Competitive. My favorite guide to this day is the Fiske Guide. I started buying them in 1988 and still do so. I have used the Barron's guide for selectivity purposes since my high school days in the late 1960's. The Princeton guide is very good. My 2 daughters applied to a total of 15 different schools. They were accepted at few and rejected at few. By checking the Princeton selectivity guide, it went almost according to the numbers. They were rejected at schools rated 99 to 95 selectivity levels and accepted at all schools rated 87 to 93 selectivity levels.
