Wow. Are you kidding? I hope so. That is NOT the reason Harvard and Princeton dropped early admissions.</p>
<p>Please see link below to Harvard Gazette with quote from interim president Bok - </p>
<p>“Early admission programs tend to advantage the advantaged,” Bok continued. “Students from more sophisticated backgrounds and affluent high schools often apply early to increase their chances of admission, while minority students and students from rural areas, other countries, and high schools with fewer resources miss out.”</p>
