Abstract	This article discusses the results of a series of multiple regressions performed to predict how closely 490 eighth grade students' approaches to searching for and selecting high schools matched the New York City Department of Education's recommendations. Results indicate that children of Latin American immigrant mothers were less likely to follow the New York City Department of Education's recommendations than both their third-generation or higher peers and students born to Asian immigrant mothers. They relied on fewer information sources, attended fewer open houses and fairs, were less likely to consider academic factors, and consulted fewer people when choosing schools.
