Admission by Jean Hanff Korelitz

3.0

If you've ever been curious about Ivy League schools and who exactly they choose to admit, this book will keep you reading. Portia is a college admissions officer at Princeton in her late 30s, whose life is coming apart in a variety of ways. The author clearly knows a lot about the admissions process, and the book is at its most interesting when digressions about particular applicants are allowed to run their course. Each chapter begins with an entertaining quote from a student's personal essay.
