Who Gets In And Why by Jeffrey J. Selingo
A Year Inside College Admissions
A year-long, on-the-ground investigation of the college admissions process that explains how selective institutions actually evaluate applicants, revealing the interplay of test scores, grades, essays, recommendations, extracurriculars, demonstrated interest, legacy and recruited-athlete preferences, and institutional priorities; it shows how admissions officers balance data and judgment, how advantaged applicants gain edges through counseling and resources, and offers practical guidance and policy-minded critique about the opacity and inequities built into modern admissions systems.
