Abstract
The mission of the Pathways to College Network (PCN) is to focus on improving college preparation, access, and success for underserved populations, including low-income, underrepresented minority, and first-generation students. To ascertain where we currently stand with respect to achieving our mission, this updated paper—originally written in 2002—identifies and analyzes school reforms that present evidence of college preparation for all students.
