52）Cutting against a major trend in the college-admissions
game, Harvard grabbed national headlines Tuesday by announcing it
would eliminate its early-admissions program-big news from a
school that fills two fifths of its class with early
applicants.
53）Lloyd Thacker, who
three years ago founded the Education Conservancy, a nonprofit that
advocates for college-admissions reform, believes a slew of other
schools could follow Harvard's
lead.
54） Derek Bok,
the school's interim president, cited fairness and simplicity as
the primary reasons for the change, saying in a statement that
early-admission programs tend to add stress to an already stressful
process and "advantage the
advantaged."
55）This rate is similar to many of
America's top colleges and universities, fueling concern that
early admissions favor the most privileged students, particularly
those from affluent high schools that place a high emphasis on
college counseling.
56） In the fiercelycompetitive world of
higher education, where schools have strong financial incentives to
attract accomplished student bodies, Avery says it's tough to say
whether many other schools will take the risk of giving up a good
way of locking in top students.
