What do colleges really look for when it comes to an applicant?
Sure, grades enter into the decision, and until recently, scores did as well. Extracurriculars...check, ancillary factors...check. But as much as the student's traditional "story" is considered, so too is their family's financial story.
Author Jeff Selingo touches upon this not-so-eagerly-shared bit of information in his article which is an excerpt from his book, Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions.

Facebook Live: Who Gets In and Why
New York Times columnist Frank Bruni is always spot on in his pieces about politics, pop culture, and just about anything else going on in this country. This past Sunday, Bruni wrote about Jeff Selingo and his “extraordinary access" to the college selection process.
We are thrilled to be talking with Jeff, this THURSDAY, September 10th at 8:30 pm, about his book and what Bruni said was "one of the most nuanced, coolheaded examinations of the admission process” that he has read.
Anyone who is now enmeshed in college admissions and anyone who soon will be will not want to miss this special discussion.
