“The Gatekeepers is a stuning piece of education reporting. By docomenting the aspiration and anxieties of real-live applicants as well as strategies and motives of real-live admissions officers, Jacques Steinberg has demystified the admissions process of an elite private college in compelling fashion. The Gatekeepers blends helpful information with engaging-even suspenseful- storytelling. He discribes a distinctly American rite of passage that turns out to be more reasonable than most applicants and parents fear, but far more complex and idiosyncratic than college would have us believe.”
