Drawing on research at an elite Northeastern university, the book examines how economically disadvantaged students experience campus life differently depending on their precollege schooling. Jack distinguishes between students who attended elite private high schools on scholarship, whom he calls the Privileged Poor, and those who came directly from under-resourced public schools, whom he calls the Doubly Disadvantaged. The book’s purpose is not simply to show that low-income students face hardship, but to explain how institutions often misread those hardships and design policies around a narrow idea of merit and belonging. By focusing on culture, class, networks, and campus routines, Jack shows that admission alone does not equal inclusion.
