Interesting NPR story on admissions at a selective LAC (Amherst College)

[tearose]

"What does it take to get into Amherst?" From today's Morning Edition:

http://www.npr.org/2011/03/28/134916924/Amherst-Admissions-Process

 

"Admissions committees at selective colleges sometimes have to plow through thousands of applications to choose the members of next year's freshman class. The committee at Amhest College in Mass., will accept only 1,000 of the more than 8,000 students who applied."

 

It's an interesting listen, I think.
