Dream School: Finding the College That's Right For You
In this book, Selingo reframes the college search process as one that should be values driven. Too often, he says, families and students are swayed by prestige or influenced by what others are doing. Through a variety of case studies and research, Selingo offers an alternative way to understand the value of college and helps students understand how to build a list of colleges to apply to. Dream School will help guide students to deeply reflect about who they are and what really matters to them.
