From the Back Cover

“Written as an act of personal catharsis, Fetter’s reflections on her seven years as Stanford’s dean of undergraduate admissions is as engrossing as it is informative. . . . The book warrants an audience far wider than admissions professionals and higher education specialists. It has much to say to anyone concerned with equity and excellence in our universities.”—Choice
