Or, that up to half of eligible students receive no financial aid? Or, that public universities are rejecting homegrown middle-and working-class applicants and instead enrolling wealthy out-of-state students? Is the college admissions game really rigged against you? Susan F. Paterno, a veteran academic and author, answers these questions and more in Game On. Paterno helped her four very different kids navigate the application process to a wide range of colleges, paying for their four-year educations on a finite budget. She smartly decodes the college admissions industry-the consultants, the tutors, the rankers, the branding companies hawking "advantage"-and arms you with the knowledge you needed to make the system work for you. You'll learn how to use a sorting hat of your own devising-narrowing your focus, analyzing who gets in and why, looking for the right financial fit before considering anything else, including geography, reputation and, especially, ranking. Among the tools and insights in Game On: - Why applying to college became a bewildering maze and how to find your way to a successful end - Why college costs are more terrifying than you think - How to read beyond the rack rate to negotiate the best financial package with the least debt - Why merit is a myth, but merit aid is essential - The difference between family debt and student debt and how to split it - Why forty years of failed free-market policies led to skyrocketing tuition and historic levels of student debt Insightful and practical, Game On not only provides a smart, seasoned insider's look at a complicated process, but simplifies it, cutting through the noise and distractions the schools blast your way. It will become your efficient and indispensable road map to understanding and beating the system.
