Customer Reviews

One-Stop Shop

I have participated in several college prep/ college info sessions over the years and the very best of what those workshops have to offer is encapsulated in this excellent book. I call the book a one-stop shop for anyone who has anything to do with U.S. Latinos and the U.S. higher education system. Every topic is covered in a straightforward and cogent manner. And if you like personal anecdotes of the Latino collegiate experience well then you'll love that this book has plenty of true-to-life personal accounts from Latino students. With this book we see that, yes, "sí se pudo", and "sí se podrá".

Essential for Latino H.S. Students

Wow,impressive book for any high school student but especially for Latinos, and their parents as well. Ms. Dabbah hasn't missed a thing - , how to do it, how to finance it, biblios, references, how not to do it, etc. As a college counselor, I would recommend this book for a class. Students will be inspired & save lots of time just using this research.
