Joining the Elite, with a new chapter

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

The Early Admissions Game is intended as an expose, for high-school students and their parents, of the realities of college admissions, but it is also a protest against the practice of early admissions. The authors believe that these programs benefit privileged students...[and] cheat disadvantaged students. -- Louis Menand New Yorker The authors present a devastating portrait of elite college admissions--and early admissions in particular--as an elaborate and complicated 'game'...[where the winners] tend to be privileged students who have access to highly skilled counselors with information pipelines to elite college admissions offices. -- Peter Sacks The Nation

Reseña del editor:

Based on the carefule examination of more than 500,000 applications to fourteen elite colleges and hundreds of interviews with students, counselors, and admissions officers, this book details the advantages and pitfalls of applying early, and provides a map for students and parents to understand the process.
