College-bound students and their parents might find the admissions path mysterious. Jeffrey Selingo, whose Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions was a 2020 New York Times Most Notable Book, will shed light on the process during the next Ocean County Library Virtual Author Talk on Wednesday, Aug. 30 at 2 p.m.

During the discussion, Selingo intends to clear misconceptions about competition and to encourage families to reconsider their notions of “good” colleges.
