Where you go is not who you'll be

In this book, Frank Bruni challenges the prevailing mindset that the college admissions process is a definitive predictor of future success.

He argues that the obsession with elite colleges is misguided and that what truly matters is the effort and experiences students have during their college years, regardless of the institution.

Bruni uses statistics, surveys, and stories of successful individuals who attended a variety of colleges to support his argument.

He also critiques the college ranking systems, such as those by U.S.

News and World Report, for their flaws and for creating unnecessary anxiety among students and parents.
