The review added, "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."
What are the ten best college back doors? According to Penguin Random House author C. W. Henderson, whose research created Open the Gates to the Ivy League, the ten best college back doors, including the primary reasons, are:
- Harvard's back door is wide open, the application criteria are moderate, no SAT is required, and you can be under age 18.
- University of Pennsylvania - Penn's back door is wide open, application criteria are moderate, and the SAT is not required.
- Cornell's back door is wide open, application criteria are moderate, and the SAT is not required.
- Emory's back door is wide open, application criteria are moderate, the SAT is required, and housing is readily available.
- Washington University in St. Louis has a wide open back door, and application criteria are moderate, but usually you'll need SAT scores, plus there is some limited housing available.
- Northwestern has a wide open back door, application criteria are moderate, and the SAT is not required.
- University of Wisconsin, UW-Madison, has a wide open back door, application criteria are moderate, the SAT sometimes is required, and there is plenty of housing available.
- New York University - NYU has a wide open back door, application criteria are moderate, the SAT is not required, and housing is available.
- Boston College's back door is wide open, application criteria are moderate, and the SAT is not required.
- William & Mary has a wide open back door, application criteria are moderate, and the SAT is required.
In another article about Open the Gates to the Ivy League, University of Virginia's UVA Today not only notes the back gateways to "Hallowed-hall Ivies" but also the transfer programs such as the Virginia community colleges that help individuals gain admittance to UVA.
College admissions counselors, college advisors, families, students, and parents should know about the research on back gateways in this book.
