Praise forTHE PRICE OFADMISSION
“An ivory-tower expose.”
—ATLANTIC MONTHLY
“Provocative and stimulating… A tough investigative reporter, Golden does not hesitate to name names…. In his final chapter, Golden issues a series of sensible and hard-hitting recommendations.”
—JEROME KARABEL, Washington Post Book World

—ALAN WOLFE, professor of political science at Boston College and author of One Nation, After All
“This report's abundance of juicy stories of outrageous favoritism makes for an absorbing read.”
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Fascinating reading … As a body of reporting, The Price of Admission is a tour de force…. Behind-the-scenes admissions practices have probably never before been documented in such persuasive detail…. Immensely readab ............
