What Is Admissions About?

The premise of Admissions without spoilers.

Evie, a cynical prodigy, prefers caring for her family over Ivy League dreams. Her father Harry spends his days building model trains, while mother Martha depends on Evie to look after developmentally challenged sister Emily. As she reads poetry to Emily and befriends neighbor James, Evie deliberately fails college interviews to stay home, even passing off her own poems as Emily’s, creating the belief that her sister is a literary savant.
