From the Author
THE SELECT brings the voice of students to the public.
The purpose of including statistical data from over 4,000 students is to let the interested student and parent compare the different colleges and to understand the nature of life on elite college campuses today. One can read the study without having to review the charts. The student quotes are very powerful in themselves. I am disappointed with the Kirkus Reviewer who failed to focus on the message of the book, not understanding that this involved a project lends credence to what it is like for the large majority of today's students on competitive college campuses. Did he or she really read the text?
