The college selection process of high-achieving Latino students

UnrestrictedThis study explores the factors that high-achieving Latino students take into consideration when choosing a college or university to apply. The purpose of this project was to increase knowledge of the students’ selection process and the decisions they make to select universities they choose to apply. This new knowledge will assist educators in developing school based programs that will benefit high-achieving Latino students who would like to attend a college or university. This study can also determine ways in which school personnel may intervene more effectively and ensure that Latinos take advantage of the educational opportunities available to them
