An exploration of the college admissions process from a higher education expert, who pulls back the curtain on its mysterious, sometimes bizarre, inner workings.
What The Reviewers Say
... Timely and engaging.
As compelling as Who Gets In and Why is for disinterested observers, parents of high-school students will especially value (or desperately flip to) the sections where Mr. Selingo offers an inside view of the admissions process at Emory University, Davidson College and the University of Washington.
... absorbing.
The book is heavily narrative driven, drawing on numerous perspectives of and conversations with students, parents, and administrators, making for an illuminating and multi-sided view of admissions work, and how the processes and decisions affect stakeholders involved.
