<p>Xiggi and Carolyn -- The blurb on Amazon seems to indicate that it only deals with elite admissions (the top 100 or so most competitive schools). Is there enough info about the admissions process in general - particularly at selective/more selective but not "elite" schools to justify the purchase? </p>
<p>Quote from the book's intro:

We will define selectivity in terms of admissions rate only, and focus on colleges that admit fewer than half of those who apply. We'll further divide the group into three categories -- super selective colleges . . . highly selective . . . and very selective. . . . The students applying to selective colleges are the ones experiencing the "crisis"
