The Gatekeepers: Inside the Admissions Process of a Premier College – Universities Directories
Steinberg, Jacques
Penguin 2003 Dewey Dec. 378.1
From the fall of 1999 to the spring of 2000, New York Times education reporter Jacques Steinberg was given unparalleled access to an entire admissions season at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. In that time, he discovered just how difficult it could be to winnow down a list of nearly seven thousand applicants to seven hundred freshmen for the class of 2004. Steinberg follows an admissions officer and his eight counterparts through the daunting task of recruiting students nationwide, reading through each of their applications, and meeting behind closed doors for a week in March to finalize the incoming class. He also recounts the personal experiences of a half dozen high school seniors of various ethnic and economic backgrounds as they struggle through the often byzantine selection process.

Admissions Confidential: An Insider’s Account of the Elite College Selection Process – Universities Directories
Toor, Rachel
St. Martin’s 2001 Dewey Dec. 378.1
There are hundreds of books available that coach kids on writing college application essays, improving SAT scores and trying to beat the admissions system. Admissions Confidential is a definitive look at why those books don’t work. Toor lifts the veil on a process that anxious parents and high school students have never had decoded before. And they may be shocked to find out:
–that elite colleges spend thousands of dollars recruiting students they will never admit
–why some students at the bottom of their high school classes are admitted to top schools when the valedictorians are rejected
–how pricey independent college counselors can hurt an applicant’s chances
–why admission to a top school depends on who reads your application
–why the top of the class at a high-performing high school may end up at their second and third choice
Written in engaging first-person and covering the entire admissions process–from recruiting to enrollment–Admissions Confidential is a year in the life of a college admissions officer. Info on colleges. Best university guide. Universities directories. SAT Practice Tests free.
