Game On:
Why College Admission Is Rigged and How to Beat the System
Director of the Chapman journalism program—and mother of four
recent college grads—Susan F. Paterno leads you through the admissions
process to help you and your family make the best decision possible.

families than their local state university? Or that up to half of
eligible students receive no financial aid? Or that public universities
are rejecting homegrown middle- and working-class applicants and instead
enrolling wealthy out-of- state students? College admission has
escalated into a high-stakes game of emotional and financial survival.
How is the deck stacked against you? And what can you do about it?
