Career
Publications
In Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admission, Selingo observed the selection process at three schools, Emory University, the University of Washington, and Davidson College. In the Wall Street Journal review, Naomi Schaefer Riley wrote that Selingo, “has an ear for dialogue and an eye for detail.” The reviewer said: “As compelling as ‘Who Gets In and Why’ is for disinterested observers, parents of high-school students will especially value (or desperately flip to) the sections where Mr. Selingo offers an inside view of the admissions process."[13]
