David L. Marcus volunteers to interview applicants for his alma mater, Brown University. Last month, he wrote an article for U.S. News and World Report titled, “The Real Secret of College Admissions.” In his article, Marcus writes about some of the difficult truths of the college admission process.

I think Marcus’ piece is insightful and offers an interesting perspective on what can be a difficult process.
