Summary:

This book is for students who are considering entering undergraduate or graduate schoolprograms at a United States college or university. Some of the information in here might beuseful for students entering specialty programs such as technical schools, law schools, executiveprograms, or medical schools. However, it does not directly discuss these programs.This book is for two specific audiences: first-generation students and internationalstudents. If none of your close family members/caregivers/mentors went to college, or if you’rean international student whose parents didn’t go to college in the United States, you will needto do a lot of fact-finding research on your own. This book can help point you in the rightdirection.
