About the Book

Is it possible to create an admissions screening process that allows any educational institution to select top-performing applicants and simultaneously promote diversity? Is it possible to choose applicants genuinely motivated in the pursuit of a profession rather than those primarily focused on acquiring wealth or status? Is it possible to achieve all of the above, being fair to all applicants and reducing the time and cost of the admissions screening process?

Dr. Behrouz Moemeni, one of the most sought-after admissions expert and an outspoken advocate for fair and scientific admissions screening, believes the answer to all of the above questions is a resounding "YES". In this thought-provoking book, he explains how using first principles in psychology, immunology, sociology, evolutionary biology, statistics, physics, and chemistry can help universities select applicants passionate about their future professions.

After convincing the readers about the flaws of current admissions screening practices - such as the use of situational judgment tests, standardized tests, and traditional interviews - he explains a step-by-step action plan described in 14 "rules" designed for any educational institution seeking to construct a fair and scientific admissions screening process.

The book is filled with blunt reasoning debunking common myths and lighthearted humor about what to do instead suitable for admissions professionals, researchers and anyone interested in applicant screening in higher education.

Here's what you are going to learn in this book:
  • The fundamental problems with current admissions screening practices that lead to profound bias against minority groups and lower income applicants

  • How to increase the reliability and validity of any admissions screening practice or tool
  • How to democratize the admissions process and educational institutions
  • Sample questions and answers for admissions teams
  • And much more!
