"The Power of Privilege is a provocative critique of theories of meritocracy in admission decisions at elite American universities. Distinguishing between factors that influence who applies to elite schools and those that increase the odds of admission, Soares draws nuanced inferences about class reproduction. This is must reading for anyone interested in understanding admission policies and practices in elite universities." --Francisco Ramirez, Stanford University "The Power of Privilege clarifies the dynamics of elite reproduction, shows how privilege and social inequality are deeply embedded in institutions, and demonstrates the important role that meritocratic schools plays in society. This book is masterful. Joseph Soares has established himself as one of the most promising social critics." --Judith Blau, author of Justice in the United States, Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina
