The History of Discrimination in Admissions at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton Part 1

Are you at a severe disadvantage if you don't go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton? Why are admissions at elite American universities so different than they are at the rest of the world?

Why did Harvard, Yale and Princeton begin requiring interviews, photos and mother's maiden name in the college admission process?

In the early 1900's admissions were exam based, however now the definition of merit at elite universities is determined by one's political and social standing.

Dean Lawrence R. Velvel of the Massachusetts School of Law interviews author and University of California Berkeley Professor Jerome Karabel about his book, The Chosen: The Hidden History of Admission and Exclusion at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton .

The Massachusetts School of Law also presents information on important current affairs to the general public in television and radio broadcasts, an intellectual journal, conferences, author appearances, blogs and books.


THE MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL OF LAW IS NEW ENGLAND’S MOST AFFORDABLE AND DIVERSE LAW SCHOOL. We are dedicated to growing tomorrow’s leaders; empowering them with professional skills taught by instructors with real world experience, in a fun supportive campus environment.
