"Valedictorians at the Gate isn’t just an unmissable guide for every budding college applicant (and anxious parent), it is essential reading for all of us. Ms. Sabky draws upon her rich experience as an Ivy League admissions director to illuminate the strange and shadowed world of admits, denies, and defers. With humor, empathy, and keen insight, she shows us what matters, and what doesn’t, at the threshold of higher education." - Adam Benforado, professor of law, Drexel University, and New York Times bestselling author of Unfair |
