Achieve the College Dream: You Don't Need to be Rich to Attend a Top School is the sort of guide that does more than offer step-by-step instructions about how to pique admission officers' interest, how to pursue a rigorous curriculum and how to explore extracurricular activities that don't empty out the bank account. Maria Carla Chicuen has written a guidebook to inspire other students to reach for the stars. Achieve the College Dream provides an inspirational message from someone who has been there, done that and wants to inspire - nay, convince - others it can be done.
