The Neurotic Parent's Guide to College Admissions book event at the Thousand Oaks Library

Admissions rates of 6%? Kids applying to 32 colleges? Sixteen-year-olds with more impressive resumes than Fortune 500 CEOs? Has the nation lost its mind?

Why yes, it has! The college admissions process now sucks approximately 1250% more time, money and psychic energy than it did when today’s parents were going through the same process. Author J.D. Rothman is here to shine a light on the insanity with laugh-out-loud wit and incisive anthropological observations as she reads excerpts from her book, The Neurotic Parent's Guide to College Admissions. 

Woven throughout are hilarious bits of advice and cultural insights detailing the anxiety-ridden quest for college homes for J.D.'s children. 

Come spend an evening of laughter and learning with author J.D. Rothman and a panel of college admissions experts including Kirk Brannan from USC and Matt Ward from Cal Lutheran University at the Thousand Oaks Library on Wednesday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. Signed books will be available at the event.

J.D. Rothman is an Emmy-winning television writer, children’s media producer and lyricist.
