A Rare Behind-the-Scenes Look at Who Gets Into What College September 8, 2009
Next to the cost of college, perhaps the topic that most obsesses parents is, “Will my child get into the college s/he most wants?”
I’m sure it’s true in your New Jersey high school – it’s certainly true in mine – there’s a cabal of parents who devote considerable time and thought to handicapping students’ chances for acceptance. Their sources may be suspect, but their convictions are steadfast. I call them “College Kremlinologists” for the amount of intrigue, spying and delicious speculation slewed between and amongst them.
The only problem is, they’re often wrong.
For all those inquiring minds who want to know – but don’t want to play College Kremlinologist – there’s a new article in our library I think you’ll enjoy. Called THE REAL SCOOP: Who Gets Into What College, the piece details the school-byschool results of six, real (mostly New Jersey) high school students. No speculation – the actual results.
There are plenty of eyebrow-raising surprises. Meet the young woman rejected by Duke but welcomed by Harvard . . . the teenager turned down by Ramapo College but accepted by Seton Hall . . . the student denied by Georgetown who’s happily attending Amherst.
