About the Book
Finding the right college is a challenge for all students. But Black families face additional challenges and questions while navigating the admissions process.
In The Black Family's Guide to College Admissions, Timothy L. Fields and Shereem Herndon-Brown share provocative insights and demystify this complex process to answer important questions from where to apply to how to get in.
"A unique, refreshing, and much-needed resource from two admission insiders. This book is a tremendously valuable guide for Black students and their families as they seek to make informed decisions, ask astute questions, and ultimately select the best college for them."
—Rick Clark, Assistant Vice Provost / Executive Director of Undergraduate Admission, Georgia Institute of Technology, coauthor of The Truth about College Admission.
