Negative Positive
Title: Specious arguments and omitted ones
Review: I must agree with the Nashville reviewer. I'm constantly floored by the reference (only ocasional, which itself raises questions) to "legacy" preferences. These are wrong, wrong, wrong. (If anything, an applicant with parents who attended that university -- especially a prestigious private one -- should be held to a *higher* standard. They'd damn well *better* do well, given their myriad advantages in life.)Overall, not a terribly convincing book, and I did try to read it in the spirit of being convinced.
Is the review positive or negative?
