Where You Go Is Not Who You`ll Be: An Antidote to the College Admissions Mania, Bruni Frank

That belief is wrong. Its cruel. In WHERE YOU GO IS NOT WHO YOULL BE, Frank Bruni explains why, giving students and their parents a new perspective on this brutal, deeply flawed competition and a path out of the anxiety that it provokes.

Bruni, a bestselling author and a columnist for the New York Times, shows that the Ivy League has no monopoly on corner offices, governors mansions, or the most prestigious academic and scientific grants. Through statistics, surveys, and the stories of hugely successful people who didnt attend the most exclusive schools, he demonstrates that many kinds of colleges-large public universities, tiny hideaways in the hinterlands-serve as ideal springboards. And he illuminates how to make the most of them. What matters in the end are a students efforts in and out of the classroom, not the gleam of his or her diploma.
