Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the role of self-authorship in the college planning and transition of a sample of urban low-income high school seniors in a large Midwestern city. Surveys of 1100 students and semi-structured interviews with a sub-sample of 110 students reveal their college and career goals, college knowledge, and sources of support for college planning. Self-authorship is defined as a student’s capacity to devise their own internal formula(s) for success. Findings suggest that self-authorship among high school students is a) more complicated than previously discussed, b) highly contingent upon the context of encouragement for college information, c) not necessarily a positive contributor to college access or success. Analyses also reveal statistically significant differences about the positive influence of peers in supporting students’ college plans.
