A former Ivy League
admissions officer, Joie Jager-Hyman follows five bright and
eager high
schoolers—students from diverse ethnic, social, and financial
backgrounds—as they each put their best foot forward on the
road they
hope will lead them to the hallowed halls of Harvard University.
At once a remarkable true story of dedication,
achievement, and
heartbreak and a guide for success in an ultra-competitive
environment,
this important work deserves a place in the home of every
family that
has ever dreamed of receiving that coveted “fat envelope” in
the mail.
Jager-Hyman also offers a startlingly frank appraisal of the
college
admission process and the important roles race and class
continue to
play in a student's efforts to attend the best school
possible.
