GETTING IN... is the concern of all high school students applying to college. It's often a mysterious process, especially for those who don't know how the process work. As the child of immigrant parents, I remember not having anyone to ask.

This is a site written by NYU college students for NY Chinatown high school students. It was conceived, researched, and written for my course on Chinatown.

Teachers and counselor will also find useful recommendations of books and perspectives.

Hope you find it useful!
