Abstract

In this study, 184 Latina/o students provided their perceptions of support from high school counselors and their levels of acculturation, Mexican orientation, and Anglo orientation. Perceptions of expectations, perceptions of appraisal, and Mexican orientation were significant predictors of enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The authors did not find gender differences between males and females across perceptions of support and acculturation. This article discusses the importance of these findings and offers implications for school counselors.
