What Amazon Says:
In the fall of 1999, NYT education reporter Jacques Steinberg was given an unprecidented opportunity to observe the admissions process at prestigious Wesleyan University. Over the course of nearly a year, Steinberg accompanied admissions officer Ralph Figeroa on a tour to assess and recruit the most promising students in the country. This follos a diverse group of prospective students as the compete for places in the nation's most elite coleges. The first book to reveal the college admission process in such behind-the-scenes detail, The Gatekeeprs will be required reading for every parent of a high school-age child and for every student facing the arduous and anxious task of applying to college.
