Admission by Jean Hanff Korelitz
4.0
Admission should possibly be required reading for any high school student or parent of a high school student on the brink of applying to colleges. Follow Portia Nathan, a Princeton admissions officer, through a season of college admissions. While this alone may seem a dull subject, this novel is anything but.
Perhaps you’re like myself and have given little thought to those who comb through college applications. Korelitz has written a book that will excite you about the potential futures college applicants face, and give you a peek of the pressure experienced on both sides of the application process. Mixed in is a deep love story, complicated families and major changes in Portia’s life.
There is quite a bit of heft to this book, but every page is worth it. Admission is beautifully written and will leave the reader with hope.
