<p>Good article. The one HS where misinformation was regularly disseminated is one that I’ve recruited before. I guess it’s time for another visit…</p>

<p>Interesting piece. This quote gets to the heart of the matter:</p>

<p>

Private admissions counselors and high school counselors across the country, including a former Harvard admissions officer, overwhelmingly suspect that Harvard and Princeton felt like they were losing qualified applicants to schools that kept their early programs, including Stanford, MIT, and especially Yale.

</p>

<p>What became of the professed goal of schools that eliminated their early programs – to benefit low income and minority students who lacked knowledge of the early admissions advantage? I don’t fault schools for acting in the best interests of the institution (Yale certainly did it too by retaining the early program) but all the lofty double-speak is tiresome.</p>
