Description
Hardcover, 320 pages, published 15/09/2020, by Simon and Schuster. A year inside the college admissions office reveals a more complex truth than the traditional notion of merit-based selection. Journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo explores the strategies that aid in the college search, challenging the idea that only the best students are rewarded. By embedding himself in three different admissions offices and following select students and their parents, Selingo sheds light on the often agonizing and life-changing decisions made by gatekeepers.
