What are places like Harvard in the United States or Cambridge in England looking for when they admit undergraduate students? What qualities do selectors value and how do they decide between many applicants with often stellar attainment records? And, are we all better off because of who these elite universities admit? Meritocracy and the University provides an insight into the world of university admissions. Based on interviews with professional admissions staff and academic faculty members who select students, the book explains what selectors value and how they make decisions. By shining a light on the world of university admissions in England and in the United States, readers are invited to reflect on the similarities and differences in who selects and how selection is done, the purpose and mission of universities, and the challenges universities face in building fair admissions processes when earlier opportunities to shine in education are unequally distributed"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zGreat Britain$xAdmission 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xAdmission. 676 $a378.1610941 686 $aSOC026000$aEDU000000$aPOL040000$2bisacsh 700 $aMountford-Zimdars$b Anna$f1979-$0980705 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910208947803321 996 $aMeritocracy and the university$92238009 997 $aUNINA
