Description
Every spring thousands of middle-class and lower-income high-school seniors learn that they have been rejected by America's most exclusive colleges in favor of wealthy white students with lesser credentials. This Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter argues that America is rapidly becoming an aristrocracy in which the richest families receive special access to elite higher education. Based on two years of investigatiaave reporting and hundreds of interviews with students, parents, school administrators, and admissions personnel, some of whom risked their jobs to speak to the author, The Price of Admission exposes the corrupt admissions practices that favor the wealthy, the powerful, and the famous.
