Admissions Confidential: An Insider's Account of the Elite College Selection Process

Rating:
Summary: The person exposed in this "tell-all" book is the author.
Review: While styling her book as an honest, tell-all account of life in the admissions office of an elite university, Rachel Toor merely exposes her own smallness as a peson. She reveals her disdain for most of the applicants in the region for which she was responsible, building herself up by tearing them down. This book has such a nasty tone that I would not permit a college-bound senior to read it -- it is designed to create anxiety among even the most talented of kids. If you want the straight scoop on admissions to the elite schools, try "A is for Admission." Rachel Toor appears to be on a major power trip.
