图书描述

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.

还没看完，但是很好的纪实。本书生动展现了我反对国内中上层阶级呼吁的素质教育的原因，一旦选拔标准变得主观，再加上资金来源的考虑，金钱就会起到不可思议的作用。就美国而言，摆在台面上的通道有legacy and development cases. legacy 是校友的孩子，development是非校友但有捐助潜力的孩子。我校据说25%都是development cases. 和我熟的老师说， development office工作就是拍有钱人马屁。没摆在台面上的录取渠道是靠富人体育运动特招，如马球、壁球、赛艇等。以前以为美国藤校多么厉害，直到我自己给本科生做了TA, wealthy kids 的反智和傲慢让人震惊，而他们享受的资源是北大清华都比不上的。

还是喜欢捐款不送子女录取名额，送小行星命名的加州理工。美国大学里的一股清流
