Praise for Open the Gates to the Ivy League: "In Open the Gates to the Ivy League: A Plan B for Getting into the Top Colleges, 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 UVA Today “A few days ago I picked up an interesting book, Open the Gates to the Ivy League, A Plan B for Getting into the Top Colleges. 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.”—Educated Quest "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.”—Education Week BookMarks
