University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Through analyses of focus group transcripts, the author highlights key schoolbased supports and resources students viewed as helpful in their collegeplanning activities and explores the challenges students’ expressed about being exposed to school-based social capital while living in disadvantaged community contexts. The findings suggest the importance of intersecting dosages of school-based social capital such as high expectations and experiential learning to help students complete their college-planning activities as well as the need for coping strategies for the psychological barriers of being college-bound within contexts where college access is not widely available.
