圖書描述

Every spring thousands of middle-class and lower-income high-school seniors learn that they have been rejected by America’s most exclusive colleges. What they may never learn is how many candidates like themselves have been passed over in favor of wealthy white students with lesser credentials—children of alumni, big donors, or celebrities.

In this explosive book, the Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Daniel Golden argues that America, the so-called land of opportunity, is rapidly becoming an aristocracy in which America’s richest families receive special access to elite higher education—enabling them to give their children even more of a head start. Based on two years of investigative reporting and hundreds of interviews with students, parents, school administrators, and admissions personnel—some of whom risked their jobs to speak to the author— The Price of Admission exposes the corrupt admissions practices that favor the wealthy, the powerful, and the famous.

In The Price of Admission , Golden names names, along with grades and test scores. He reveals how the sons of former vice president Al Gore, one-time Hollywood power broker Michael Ovitz, and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist leapt ahead of more deserving applicants at Harvard, Brown, and Princeton. He explores favoritism at the Ivy Leagues, Duke, the University of Virginia, and Notre Dame, among other institutions. He reveals that colleges hold Asian American students to a higher standard than whites; comply with Title IX by giving scholarships to rich women in “patrician sports” like horseback riding, squash, and crew; and repay congressmen for favors by admitting their children. He also reveals that Harvard maintains a “Z-list” for well-connected but underqualified students, who are quietly admitted on the condition that they wait a year to enroll.

The Price of Admission explodes the myth of an American meritocracy—the belief that no matter what your background, if you are smart and diligent enough, you will have access to the nation’s most elite universities. It is must reading not only for parents and students with a personal stake in college admissions, but also for those disturbed by the growing divide between ordinary and privileged Americans.

好好看，好多人名，就喜歡這種

還沒看完，但是很好的紀實。本書生動展現瞭我反對國內中上層階級呼籲的素質教育的原因，一旦選拔標準變得主觀，再加上資金來源的考慮，金錢就會起到不可思議的作用。就美國而言，擺在颱麵上的通道有legacy and development cases. legacy 是校友的孩子，development是非校友但有捐助潛力的孩子。我校據說25%都是development cases. 和我熟的老師說， development office工作就是拍有錢人馬屁。沒擺在颱麵上的錄取渠道是靠富人體育運動特招，如馬球、壁球、賽艇等。以前以為美國藤校多麼厲害，直到我自己給本科生做瞭TA, wealthy kids 的反智和傲慢讓人震驚，而他們享受的資源是北大清華都比不上的。
