[quote=Anonymous][quote] Have you read the book? Though admissions to the top colleges has gotten even more competitive since it was written, the book is enlightening b/c it delves into the sausage making, black box (forgive my mixed metaphors) of competitive college admissions. I worked in admissions for two years at another New England SLAC right after I graduated college in 2014 and find The Gatekeepers very much relevant and an entertaining read. Yes, applications are no longer mailed rather submitted online and the absolute numbers of applications has increased b/c of the Common App but the actual PROCESS of selecting a class hasn't changed very much. It is well worth a read for parents or high school students about to embark on this process. [/quote] You graduated college in 2014? Why are you on a forum for parents of HS and college students? Or was that a typo?[/quote]
