Getting into a top-ranked college has never seemed more impossible, with acceptance rates at some elite universities dipping into the single digits. In Who Gets In and Why , journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game, and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a “good college.” Hint: it’s not all about the sticker on the car window. Selingo, who was embedded in three different admissions offices—a selective private university, a leading liberal arts college, and a flagship public campus—closely observed gatekeepers as they made their often agonizing and sometimes life-changing decisions. He also followed select students and their parents, and he traveled around the country meeting with high school counselors, marketers, behind-the-scenes consultants, and college rankers. While many have long believed that admissions is merit-based, rewarding the best students, Who Gets In and Why presents a more complicated truth, showing that “who gets in” is frequently more about the college’s agenda than the applicant. In a world where thousands of equally qualified students vie for a fixed number of spots at elite institutions, admissions officers often make split-second decisions based on a variety of factors—like diversity, money, and, ultimately, whether a student will enroll if accepted. One of the most insightful books ever about “getting in” and what higher education has become, Who Gets In and Why not only provides an unusually intimate look at how admissions decisions get made, but guides prospective students on how to honestly assess their strengths and match with the schools that will best serve their interests. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,459 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Education Assessment (Books) #2 in Higher Education Administration #2 in Education Administration (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,364 Reviews | ## Images ![Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711nIRCC11L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***M on November 2, 2021* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on March 18, 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***R on April 29, 2021* ## Frequently Bought Together - Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions - Fiske Guide to Colleges 2025 - The Price You Pay for College: An Entirely New Road Map for the Biggest Financial Decision Your Family Will Ever Make --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/207184319-who-gets-in-and-why-a-year-inside-college-admissions](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/207184319-who-gets-in-and-why-a-year-inside-college-admissions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
