Harvard University
Requests College Planning Partnerships
To Participate in its College Access Collaborative
|
The project is headed by Christopher Avery, professor of Public Policy at the
Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and author of The Early
Admissions Game: Joining the Elite, a defining book on early admissions. (can we
link here to the blurb below titled, The Early Admissions Game: Joining the
Elite)
This research project is motivated by recent studies that concluded that
students from families with below-median incomes are dramatically
underrepresented at selective private colleges.
The project will attempt to assess why low-income students are underrepresented
at selective private colleges. There is currently a scarcity of high-qualified,
low-income applicants.
The Early Admissions Game:
Joining the Elite
By Christopher Avery, Andrew Fairbanks and Richard Zeckhauser
Each
year, hundreds of thousands of high school seniors compete in a game they'll
play only once, whose rules they do not fully understand, yet whose consequences
are enormous. The game is college admissions, and applying early to an elite
school is one way to win. But the early admissions process is enigmatic and
flawed. It can easily lead students toward hasty or misinformed decisions.
This book--based on the careful examination of more than 500,000 college
applications to fourteen elite colleges, and hundreds of interviews with
students, counselors, and admissions officers--provides an extraordinarily
thorough analysis of early admissions. In clear language it details the
advantages and pitfalls of applying early as it provides a map for students and
parents to navigate the process. Unlike college admissions guides, The Early
Admissions Game reveals the realities of early applications, how they work and
what effects they have. The authors frankly assess early applications. Applying
early is not for everyone, but it will improve--sometimes double, even
triple--the chances of being admitted to a prestigious college.
An early decision program can greatly enhance a college's reputation by skewing
statistics, such as selectivity, average SAT scores, or percentage of admitted
applicants who matriculate. But these gains come at the expense of distorting
applicants' decisions and providing disparate treatment of students who apply
early and regular admissions. The system, in short, is unfair, and the authors
make recommendations for improvement.
Yale University's School of Management conducted a nationwide search and
selected College Planning Partnerships to partner with one of its graduate
students. |
