In Divergent Paths to College, Megan M. Holland examines how high
schools structure different pathways that lead students to very
different college destinations based on race and class. She finds
that racial and class inequalities are reproduced through unequal
access to key sources of information, even among students in the
same school and even in schools with well-established college-going
cultures. As the college application process becomes increasingly
complex and high-stakes, social capital, or relationships with
people who can provide information as well as support and guidance,
becomes much more critical. Although much has been written about
the college-bound experience, we know less about the role that
social capital plays, and specifically how high schools can serve
as organizational brokers of social ties. The relationships that
high schools cultivate between students and higher education
institutions by inviting college admissions officers into their
schools to market to students, is a particularly critical, yet
unexplored source of college information.
