Open the Gates to the Ivy League

The only guide to college admissions that offers an alternative gateway to getting into the USA's top-rated schools. According to U.S. News & World Report, Ivy League schools on average reject about 90 percent of applicants. But there is another way to gain admittance to the top colleges in the U.S., a back gateway that will enable motivated students to come out the front gate with an Ivy League diploma. Open the Gates to the Ivy League is a Plan B that uncovers alternative and often less expensive ways for getting into the eight universities of the Ivy League proper, as well as the so-called second tier of elite universities. Some of these back gateways are virtually unknown and all but secret, while others are just under-used. From extension schools to special programs for working students to online studies, the range of fair and legitimate back gateways is remarkable for leveling the field for students of all stripes.
