It is widely assumed that admission to elite U.S. universities is based solely on academic merit—the best and brightest are admitted to Harvard, Yale, and their peer institutions as determined by test scores and GPA, and not by lineage or family income. But does reality support those expectations? Or are admissions governed by a logic that rewards socioeconomic status while disguising it as personal merit?
The Power of Privilege examines the nexus between social class and admissions at America's top colleges from the vantage point of Yale University, a key actor in the history of higher education. It is a documented history of the institutional gatekeepers, confident of the validity of socially biased measures of merit, seeking to select tomorrow's leadership class from among their economically privileged clientele. Acceptance in prestigious colleges still remains beyond the reach of most students except those from high-income professional families. Ultimately, the author suggests reforms that would move America's top schools toward becoming genuine academic meritocracies.

UC Berkeley, Illinois, Michigan, UCLA, and Wisconsin have rarely, if ever, made it into the top 20 of USNWR, and never into Barron’s top tier.
评分耶鲁录取政策史大八卦，揭开权能主义言辞背后的经济社会阶级核心。理想耶鲁人模式百余年来一直未变：结合个人气质、领导才能、人文品味和竞技能力的社会精英领导者，学业成就、个人品质和家庭背景在不同时期或无何者优先之分、均为了录取理想耶鲁人，但一直通过精心设计适当组合以保持六成以上学生来自社会顶层精英家庭。自成立之时起耶鲁等私立学校就刻意采取与直接同公立中学挂钩的公立大学不同的录取路径，偏好私立高中，注重课外活动、校友渊源及评价、个人品格乃至体格评估，SAT（由私校设立）、高中成绩等优秀最好，但从未占据最主要位置，而SAT最早被私校采用竟是因为被认为有排除劣等人种的优生学功能（加大系统多年后重新发现此点），且大学深知精英家庭自有办法推高学业成绩。如今则造成东北部精英专业家庭占据绝大部分顶尖高校位置。
评分UC Berkeley, Illinois, Michigan, UCLA, and Wisconsin have rarely, if ever, made it into the top 20 of USNWR, and never into Barron’s top tier.
评分以Yale的本科录取和SAT为线索串联精英学校录取背后的对社会经济地位出生的筛选（social economic selection）和对学生领导力（leadership）的追求。最后做了一个关于美国东北部精英通过私立高等教育体系再生产的验证。在我的解读看来，作者明显是不太想用布迪厄的再生产理论但是又实在是没有办法。
评分耶鲁招生办的八卦集锦。
