Students with few resources rarely apply to top colleges. Even when
they have the academic and extracurricular merits to be admitted to
institutions like Harvard, Yale and Princeton, these students
usually opt for less selective universities. Many ignore that top
colleges are actively seeking outstanding candidates regardless of
their economic background. What's more, a great number of colleges
offers generous financial aid to make sure every student can afford
to attend. This book is the definitive resource to help
high-achieving, low-income students access the best possible
college. The author draws from her extensive experience in
education to provide advice on important aspects of the path to
college such as pursuing a strong high school curriculum, preparing
for standardized exams, complementing learning at school,
developing leadership, and finding expert help and role models-all
through affordable strategies. In the book, the author also guides
students through the college application and selection processes,
as well as the steps to obtain enough financial aid. From the very
first page, the author sheds light on her own journey to college
through deeply personal vignettes, demonstrating by example that
students with few resources can reach and succeed at the top
universities in the United States.
