pickThis is from the backlist of the author whose book on college admissions I finished 3 days ago. ⬇️ Written 8 years ago as college life was transitioning from millennials to Gen Z, it‘s interesting to see what innovations in college education have withstood the transition. I think he hits well on the importance of critical thinking in graduates, but I think job skills in Gen Z are outstripping the credentialism of the past, which is great, IMO.
Megabooks I‘m just interested in higher education in general, but I think both of these books would be helpful to Littens sending kids to college or (particularly with College Unbound) going back to school themselves.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College AdmissionsImperfectCJ Hmm...as the parent of someone finishing 10th grade and at the beginning of the barrage of college emails and mailings, this might be very interesting. Do you have any sense of how much of what the author writes has been changed by Covid? 3y
Megabooks @ImperfectCJ replied on the other thread but I think some of what he writes in this about hybrid classes/programs (parts online, parts in person) is relevant with Covid, and especially with you doing homeschooling, there are some schools/programs that have self-paced intro classes. He has a list in the last couple of chapters of schools in all different parts of the country doing innovative programs and what makes them different. 3y
