About this audiobook
Final deadlines for college applications are looming this week, and students who are first in their families to attend college are far less likely to have help navigating the application system. The College Advising Corps aims to change that by recruiting college graduates to advise first-generation applicants. Hari Sreenivasan visits two New York City high schools to see the Corps in action.
