Over the course of 2 years, Julie Posselt sat through admissions processes in 10 top Ph.D. programs, gaining a firsthand look into admissions decisions in disciplines from astrophysics to classics to economics. In Inside Graduate Admissions: Merit, Diversity, and Faculty Gatekeeping, Posselt shows how the process of offering admission at selective Ph.D. programs is chock-full of assumptions that are seldom made explicit or challenged.
