Recently I just finished reading Small Admissions by Amy Poeppel. Below is a link to the book on Amazon.com:
https://www.amazon.com/Small-Admissions-Novel-Amy-Poeppel/dp/1501122525
Amy worked in admissions at a private NYC school. The book is a fictional account of private school admissions at a New York school. While the book is a work of fiction, many of the details are based on how the private school admissions process works. Many readers will find the conversations among the members of the admissions committee about the strength and weakness of applicants to be very enlightening.
From my 15 years of experience working with families on private school admissions and interviewing dozens of private school admissions directors about mistakes parents make in the process, I can say that this book is spot on in terms of what does and does not work.
I highly recommend this book to anyone embarking on the private school admissions process.
