Summary: Wealthy families have huge advantages when it comes to playing the college admissions game, and it’s not just more AP classes and $400/hour SAT/ACT tutors. That’s the conclusion of Paul Tough in his most recent book, The Years That Matter Most: How College Makes or Breaks Us, which Ira Glass describes the book as, “Gorgeously reported. Vividly written. Utterly lucid.” (such an "Ira Glass" way to say it.)
