1. ACCEPTED by Jamie Beaton (Harvard BA, Stanford MB, Oxford PhD)
This book is a must-read if you want to get into an extremely selective university with full-ride. I recommend reading it far before the application season starts, as it contains all the necessary information about extracurriculars, crafting essays, real rankings and acceptance rates of universities, and much more. You can order it on Amazon (I personally bought it for $16).

2. FISKE GUIDE TO COLLEGES by Edward Fiske
