Dirty Little College Secrets: Getting In, Staying In, and Graduating combines experience and expertise with valuable knowledge gained from numerous parents and students over the past ten years. The purpose of this book is to help students and parents answer some basic questions about the college admission process: requirements, scholarships, grades, class selection, graduation, and other topics that will help a student graduate. It’s not a book on how to “beat the system”—but there are loopholes that can enhance academic results and provide debt-free financing for college. This book discusses grade forgiveness, CLEP and AP exams, superscoring the ACT/SAT, and using ROTC and the services academies to receive free tuition and board (without serving in the military). Dirty Little College Secrets also provides tools for comparing on and off-campus housing, selecting an advisor, and how to challenge a grade and win.
