MEMO: COLLEGE RANKINGS DON'T MATTER. This claim might sound crazy, but it's true: Research shows that where you go to school makes little difference to future financial success or quality of life—personal qualities such as ambition, perseverance, and a sense of purpose are all more important.

Instead of obsessing over GPA cutoffs and SAT scores, students will learn how to build a personal "Success Profile"—by adopting the traits that help stellar students make the grade in school and life. Plus . . .
  • Why what you do in school counts more than where you go
  • 14 surefire ways to develop your Success Profile as a student and beyond
  • Criteria to consider when choosing a college
  • How to find a good fit for your family's finances
  • And tips for graduating career-ready and landing a great first job.
