A brief glimpse outside the Wesleyan bubble (maybe we could all use one of those right now?), courtesy of the Huff Post: Harvard and Princeton have announced plans to restore their nonbinding early admissions programs, which both schools discontinued a few years ago “out of particular concern for students at under-resourced high schools who might not be able to access the early admissions process.”
More from Harvard president Drew Faust:
“We piloted the elimination of early action out of concern that college admissions had become too complex and pressured for all students, and out of particular concern for students at under-resourced high schools who might not be able to access the early admissions process,” said Harvard President Drew Faust in a statement.
“Over the past several years, however, interest in early admissions has increased, as students and families from across the economic spectrum seek certainty about college choices and financing. Our goal now is to reinstitute an early-action program consistent with our bedrock commitment to access, affordability, and excellence,” she said.
Full article here. I can’t fathom how early admissions programs favor the affluent any less now than in they did in 2007, but then again, I also can’t fathom how they get the chocolate into those chocolate croissant things at Pi Cafe. What do I know?
In other “Ivy League Wants Attention” news, the Princeton swim team gets naked and dances to Katy Perry. Every time I remember to check IvyGate, it’s like remembering all over again why I don’t remember to check IvyGate.
You start with croissant dough, put a piece of chocolate in the middle and fold the layered pastry around it before baking it.
not to be impolite but, who gives a flying fuck?
Possibly the Wesleyan Admission Office. Maybe two or three other people. nbd.
