Preparing for college -- What counts in being admitted? -- The entering Freshman class -- Mixing and mingling on campus -- Academic performance -- Shouldering the financial burden -- Broader perspectives on the selective college experience -- Do we still need affirmative action? -- Where do we go from here?

Summary: Against the backdrop of today's increasingly multicultural society, are America's elite colleges admitting and successfully educating a diverse student body? No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal pulls back the curtain on the selective college experience and takes a rigorous and comprehensive look at how race and social class impact each stage--from application and admission, to enrollment and student life on campus. Arguing that elite higher education contributes to both social mobility and inequality, the authors investigate such areas as admission advantages for minorities, academic achievement.
