College and Grad School Admissions News Round Up

27 March, 2011

  • The University of Pennsylvania’s admissions office sent out 200 “likely letters” to exceptional applicants, reports a Daily Pennsylvanian article, “Penn reaches likely candidates through video.” “Even in an applicant pool of 31,000-plus, some candidates are going to stand out to the highest degree,” Eric Furda, dean of admissions, said. “We’re identifying those students who are going to have a lot of options when decisions roll in.” Usually these likely letters are sent to applicants in the form of a note notifying them of the impending decision; this year the admissions office decided the change their medium. Likely candidates this year received an email with a link to a video of Furda informing them of the good news.

  • According to a recent BusinessWeek article, “Tuition Shock Hits Business Majors,” not all undergraduate majors are treated equally—that is, at least when it comes to tuition. 92 out of 162 public research universities in the U.S. have started charging different prices to students majoring in different fields of study. This is particularly true among business and engineer majors. “The trend is continuing, and I think with fiscal pressures for the various legislative bodies, there will be continued pressure on boards and administrators to consider differential tuition as an alternative source of revenue,” says Glen Nelson, CFO for the Arizona Board of Regents. Top undergraduate business program UVA McIntire is among the many schools which will be increasing its fees for its business students.
  • And here’s a bit of recent graduate school news: The Educational Testing Service (ETS) reported that GRE test volume hit an all time high in 2010 to more than 700,000 tests taken worldwide, a nearly 5% increase over the previous year. For more facts and figures, please see the ETS press release.

Traveling is Fun. Pre-Travel is Not.

26 March, 2011

I hate pre-traveling.

The planning.

The scheduling.

The packing.

The over packing.

The drive to the airport (2:45 am wake-up call).

The sleepless night because you lie in fear you won’t hear your 17 alarm clocks, and you will miss the whole thing.

The arriving at the airport 2 hours early, just so I can make my way through security in 43 seconds.

While 43 seconds sounds quick, it’s a lifetime when you’re being touched in places where you shouldn’t be touched (how many people on the no-fly list do I share a name with???)

The checking in at the hotel only to discover I’ve forgotten something I reminded myself over and over not to forget (mental note… don’t forget toothbrush… and pants).

You may be asking why I travel if it’s such a hassle?

Because it’s free! And you know how I love the free stuff (email me if you have any questions… and free stuff).

Once or twice a year, I accept a very gracious invitation that has me show up and attend meetings at a location that’s at least 40 degrees warmer than the one in which I live.

This time it’s the good people at District Administration Magazine.

They have been kind enough to fly me to Phoenix. They are also going to provide me with some professional development.

And golf.

But mostly professional development.

With some golf.

I can’t thank them enough for the airfare, resort hotel, the opportunity to learn more about technology, instructional design, health care budgets, drop-out prevention, and school wellness.

And don’t forget the golf.

Now if I could just do this without all the pre-travel hassle.
