Are you wondering how your child gets admitted to college?
submitted by hiker15 on July 17, 2021, 7:19am
This novel is a fictionalized story around the highly competitive admissions process. The main character is an admissions officer for Princeton who explains to various people she encounters about the complexity of who is admitted and is an advocate for going to college. Basically, there isn't one cookie cutter set of requirements so that the college isn't a community of clones. Alot of info in this book has real world applicability if you are wondering about your child applying to a highly competitive college.
The twist at the end is that she swaps two candidates after the committee has decided and changes their status to deny one (who she knows is going to a different college) and admit one who the committee voted to deny.
