But there is another way to get into the top colleges in the United States—the back gate—that will still see motivated students come out the front gate with an Ivy League diploma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the plan B that offers you an alternative set of keys to seven of the Ivy League universities: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania (Penn), and Brown. Also covered are the so-called second tier of elite universities, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Duke, Northwestern, and University of Virginia, among others, which have highly selective admission requirements and confer social and economic benefits on par with the traditional Ivy Leagues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom extension schools to special programs for working students to online studies, the range of back gateways is remarkable for leveling the field for students of all stripes. This book provides the little-known strategies to help you succeed in enrolling in the school of your dreams.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eOpen the Gates to the Ivy League\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003eOpen the Gates to the Ivy League: A Plan B for Getting into the Top Colleges,\u003c\/i\u003e author C.W. Henderson exposes 'back gateways' for getting into 25 prestigious schools, seven of which are hallowed-hall Ivies. Henderson also cites back entrances to elite universities through transfer programs with less-elite universities, such as transferring to the University of Virginia from any one of the state's community colleges.—University of Virginia \u003ci\u003eUVA Today \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A few days ago I picked up an interesting book, \u003ci\u003eOpen the Gates to the Ivy League, A Plan B for Getting into the Top Colleges\u003c\/i\u003e. It provides alternative entries, aka 'Back Doors' for entering Ivy League or similar schools…One of the most intriguing back doors, legitimate for a traditional student, is at Emory University’s Oxford College.”—\u003ci\u003eEducated Quest\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Henderson's audience is Jager-Hyman's 'brand-name shoppers,' who would find stock in Henderson's assertion that the name recognition and well-connected alumni networks of elite universities give students 'a significant, sometimes even a dramatic, edge over everyone who earns a diploma elsewhere.' So, if students fail to get into a top 40 school, Henderson says try and try again—and shows applicants how to do so, sometimes for less than they would pay otherwise.”—\u003ci\u003eEducation Week BookMarks \u003c\/i\u003eAward-winning publisher and journalist C.
