Rethinking College Admissions probes the many facets of higher
education admissions and translates research-backed insights into
actionable strategies for innovative, equitable admissions
practices.Edited by scholars OiYan A. Poon and Michael N. Bastedo,
this collection gives readers an evidence-based understanding of
postsecondary admissions practices and structures, exploring many
factors that affect college access and educational equity in the
United States. These collected essays from leading experts present
boundary-pushing applied research on admissions, with implications
for policy, practice, and leadership. The volume considers
admissions issues from three angles. In the opening essays,
contributors offer critical analyses of current admissions
approaches in higher education, delineating the delicate balance of
equity-building efforts and legal pressures. The contributors offer
reflections on whether and how admissions systems further inclusion
or inequality. They examine topics such as race-conscious
admissions, holistic review without standardized test scores, and
student test preparation. The volume’s next part discusses the
many different ways in which admissions work can be done, outlines
ethical hazards, and considers potential areas for organizational
change. The final essays provide inroads and examples for
developing reciprocal relationships in research and practice for
the future. They discuss promising approaches for advancing campus
diversity, such as admissions lotteries, direct enrollment, and
institutional promise programs for high-achieving students from
low-income communities. A must-read for practitioners, policy
makers, and anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of
postsecondary admissions structures, including K–12 educators and
counselors, advocacy groups, and students, this work supports
data-informed approaches to higher education admissions.
