Paperback. NATIONAL BESTSELLER A fire-breathing, righteous attack on the culture of superprivilege.Michael Wolff, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Fire and Fury, in the New York Times Book Review NOW WITH NEW REPORTING ON OPERATION VARSITY BLUESIn this explosive and prescient book, based on three years of investigative reporting, Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Golden shatters the myth of an American meritocracy. 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 credentialschildren 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. With a riveting new chapter on Operation Varsity Blues, based on original reporting, The Price of Admission is a must-readnot 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.Praise for The Price of Admission A disturbing expose of the influence that wealth and power still exert on admission to the nations most prestigious universities.The Washington PostDeserves to become a classic.The Economist Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Golden argues that America, the so-called land of opportunity, is rapidly becoming an aristocracy in which Americas richest families receive special access to elite higher education, enabling them to give their children even more of a head start.
