Naming names, along with grades and test scores, Golden lays bare a corrupt system in which middle-class and working-class whites and Asian Ameri­cans are routinely passed over in favor of wealthy white students with lesser credentials—children of alumni, big donors, and celebrities. He reveals how a family donation got Jared Kushner into Harvard, and how colleges comply with Title IX by giving scholarships to rich women in “patrician sports” like horseback riding and crew.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith a riveting new chapter on Operation Varsity Blues, based on original re­porting, \u003ci\u003eThe Price of Admission\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read—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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Price of Admission\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“A disturbing exposé of the influence that wealth and power still exert on admission to the nation’s most prestigious universities.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Deserves to become a classic.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365633392895,"sku":"9781400097975","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781400097975_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589594","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781400097975","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
