Great Colleges You and Your Student May Not Have Considered-Until Now! Great colleges you may not have considered - until now! Heather Lampron Paula Macias-Gonzalez “Too often college choices are made based on false perceptions, misinformation, or a lack of information-and these uninformed choices have led to higher dropout, transfer, and failure rates in higher education”. www.CTCL.org Lampron & Macias-Gonzalez, 2013 A Few Myths About Colleges • Colleges are either good or bad • Future employers and graduate schools give an edge to graduates from prestigious universities • Schools that cost more are higher quality • The tougher it is to get into a school, the higher the quality of education • A good college is hard to get into Lampron & Macias-Gonzalez, 2013 Some College Selection Myths • I’m a failure if I don't get in to ____________ • Some secret strategy can get me admitted to __________________ • Test scores are the most important thing when applying to college • Colleges always choose the "best" students • There is only one right college out there for me Lampron & Macias -Gonzalez, 2013 OPTIONS, OPTIONS, OPTIONS! If the school fits..... • Ivy League • Top colleges that rival the Ivy League • Religious, minority, liberal arts focused • Service Learning: colleges with a conscience • Cool colleges for the unique personalities • Colleges that change lives • Cooperative Education • Aviation, aeronautics, military academies • Best colleges for B students • Eco Schools Lampron & Macias-Gonzalez, 2013 • Faculty - high level of full-time faculty, accessibility, opportunities to work with faculty, low faculty to undergraduate ratio, endowed chairs, diversity • Outcomes - retention and graduation rate, successful graduation school admission, recruitment, employment • Student body - selectivity, diversity, personality and culture • Prestigious, rigorous, highly selective Let’s compare… A State University An Ivy University • 45,072 applied • 30,383 applied • 40% accepted • 21% accepted • 85% had job offers • 52% had job offers within 6 months after within 6 months after graduation graduation Retrieved from Peterson's 440 Colleges for Top Students What are my odds of getting in? For Ivy League schools and other top universities and colleges: • Acceptance rates are at an all-time low • Application rates are at an all-time high For example, for the class of 2017: • Harvard, 5.89%, 35,000 applicants • Cornell, 15% of 40,000 applicants • Princeton, 7% of 26000 applicants • Stanford, 5.69% of 38,000 applicants Are you saying I shouldn’t apply to a “name” university? Cast your net widely! • Reach - Dream school (s), Early Decision? • Match - Fit, academic record, test scores • Safety - Be sure it is a school you would attend! So.... Let’s expand your search! And find the top school for you!!

  • As Sex Discrimination in College Admissions
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\51-2\HLC206.txt unknown Seq: 1 20-SEP-16 14:23 “Gender Balancing” as Sex Discrimination in College Admissions Shayna Medley* As women continue to apply to college in greater numbers than men and, on average, put forth stronger applications, many colleges have been engaging in “gender balancing” to ensure relatively even representation of the sexes on their campuses. This Note aims to call attention to the practice of gender bal- ancing and situate it in the context of the historic exclusion of women from higher education. Preference for male applicants is an open secret in the admis- sions world, but it remains relatively unknown to the majority of students and scholars alike. Those who have addressed the issue have often framed it as “affirmative action for men.” This Note takes issue with this characterization and proposes reconceptualizing “gender balancing” for what it really is — sex discrimination and an unspoken cap on female enrollment. Further, this Note argues that the “affirmative action for men” framework is detrimental both to the conception of race-based affirmative action and to sex discrimination. Af- firmative action attempts to counterbalance systemic educational inequalities and biased metrics that favor white, upper- and middle-class men. “Gender balancing,” on the other hand, finds no basis in either of the two rationales traditionally recognized by the Supreme Court as legitimate interests for affirm- ative action programs: remedying identified discrimination and promoting edu- cational diversity. Gender balancing cannot be legitimately grounded in either of these justifications, and thus should not be characterized as affirmative action at all.
