Good Books/Articles on College Admissions

[Anonymous]

A few books on the topic of admissions have been cited on this forum lately including Crazy U and The Price of Admission. I thought The Gatekeepers was good. I also think the NYT's blog The Source is worth reading. Any other suggestions?

Those are the two books I've read, sorry, can't add to your list.

You probably already know about College Confidential and collegeprowler.com

This Atlantic article is a good read: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2004/10/who-needs-harvard/303521/#

It's a bit dated (2004) but I think a lot of the issues it raises are still very current. It also reviews some of the college admissions books that were hot 10 years ago.

I'm reading Admission. The new Tina Fey movie is based on this.

It's fiction, but good. The author worked in the Princeton admissions office. What do they say? Write what you know....
