NORTH BETHESDA, Md. (MMD Newswire) September 1, 2010 -- Oy Vey, It's Time to Apply: A Cultural Guide to Colleges for Jewish Parents by Jerome Ostrov offers a Jewish cultural perspective on the college application process.
"I have researched practically every college on the eastern seaboard and the recognizable ones elsewhere - colleges whose names will at least get you beyond the gag state at any cocktail party, school event or boring bar or bat mitzvah reception," says Ostrov.
In addition to Ostrov's profiles of more than 120 colleges that are popular with Jewish students, Oy Vey, It's Time to Apply also seeks to provide Jewish parents with a balanced perspective on the application process as well as insightful tips on helping kids get into the right school. In addition, Oy Vey, It's Time to Apply strives to guide the reader through the rich history of Jewish academic achievement in America, while providing tips on preparing kids for their college years. It also analyzes the important steps in the application process and contains a supplement titled "Survival Guide on Religion, Judaism and Israel for the First Year Jewish College Student."
"I have the mindset of a Jewish parent of college age kids because I am one," says Ostrov. "I have gone through the college application process three times recently. And as I have worked my way through the college thicket with my own kids, I have counseled many other families."
Oy Vey, It's Time to Apply: A Cultural Guide to Colleges for Jewish Parents is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
