簡介
當我開始高中一年級時，對將來並沒有一個明確的規劃，但我的確是想進個好大學。課業和成績當時是我放在第一位的重心，然而逐漸地，經過我自己的研究，並通過高中老師、大學招生顧問，以及我的導師們，我對大學入學申請有了更完整認識。我花了很多時間功夫，使高中過得成功，以做好大學的準備。這一過程中，我學習發展了不少寶貴的技能，收獲積累很多難忘的經驗，遇見過一些非常優秀的人。我高中過得還不錯，結果好幾所大學給了我全額獎學金，包括所有四年的學費和食宿。

花大錢請專門顧問、進預科學校，當然可以是很好的辦法資源，你可以得到量身定製的服務，不過家長和學生得認真權衡一下成本和收益。我自己也是私人輔導老師，通常的收費可高達每小時120元。我和這些輔導師或顧問的確可以加快學習進程，並能提供特別自定的計劃，非常有價值。不過，我可以肯定地說，對那些願意努力用功的學生，即使沒有這些資源助力，也一樣會有極大的機遇。這本書的目的，是給學生們提供必要的基本信息，以助於他們充分地利用高中這個階段。在寫這本書時，我也是希望能幫助那些付不起這種很好但很貴的服務的家庭。

歸根結底，任何收獲都是取決於, 你自身的努力和天賦，加之從外部取得良好的信息。個人而言，我來自一個中產階級家庭，進的是級別平平的公立學校，從來沒有過私人補習老師。我還知道不少背景更差的學生，也獲得了全額獎學金, 或進入全國最好的大學。我們不能改變我們的天賦，但我們可以更加努力，這本書將為您提供一些有用的信息，而這些信息一定會使你付出的努力更加有效, 達到事半功倍。

Introduction
When I started my freshman year in high school, I didn't have a master plan, but I did want to go to a good college. Classes and grades were my main focus at first, but I gradually gained a more complete picture of college admissions through research, teachers, admissions counselors, and mentors. I dedicated a lot of time and effort to being successful in high school and preparing for college. Along the way, I developed valuable skills, gained memorable experiences, and met some great people. My high school years were pretty good, and at the end of it all, several universities offered me full merit scholarships that covered tuition, room and board for all four years.

Expensive consultants and prep schools can be great resources and provide customized support, but parents and students should carefully weigh the costs and benefits. As a private tutor, I've often received rates up to $120 per hour. I and other tutors or consultants can speed up the learning process and provide customized plans that are valuable. However, I'm certain there is tremendous opportunity for students who are willing to work hard, even without this type of help, and this book aims to provide the essential information that students need to make the most of their high school years. In writing this book, I hope to help families that may have difficulty paying for valuable but high priced services.

At the end of the day, it comes down to effort, talent, and good information. Personally, I'm from a middle class family, went to a public high school with average ratings, and never had a private tutor. I also know many students from much less privileged backgrounds who have received full scholarships or gotten into the best universities in the nation. We can't change our natural talents, but we can improve our efforts, and this book will provide you with some useful information to make those efforts more productive.
