Latino Student's Guide to College Success

Presented under a somewhat misleading title, the majority of this work consists of eight essays giving rather general advice about how to apply to and prepare for successful college enrollment. Advice includes SAT and ACT test preparation, how to find and apply for financial aid, how to utilize campus services, and other standard advice about going to college. The material that might be of particular interest to the Latino student pretty much consists of ten short (generally three-page) testimonials from various successful Latinos about their college careers. The book also includes appendices that list universities and colleges alongside information about tuition, enrollment levels, and ethnicity percentages.
