How Do Colleges Make Their Decisions? : What Happens to Your File?
Thousands upon thousands of pieces of correspondence descend upon college admissions offices right around application deadlines—the applications themselves, letters of recommendation from teachers, and transcripts and counselor recommendations. All of it has to be opened, date stamped, and sorted into applicants’ files. The physical task of doing this is staggering and very time-consuming. Despite the definite trend toward online applications and even online review, the process is still paper-intensive. Some colleges that accept online applications still print them out before they are read, so that adds to the deluge of paper as well. But once a file is complete, with all parts accounted for, it is ready for review.

Deciding About Early Decision and Other Early Options: Does Applying Early Help Your Chances?
Deciding About Early Decision and Other Early Options: Does Applying Early Help Your Chances?
It has been common knowledge for many years that the percentage of students accepted via early decision is usually higher, sometimes much higher, than the percentage accepted during the regular cycle. Colleges have routinely asserted that the files of early applicants are stronger as a group than those that arrive for regular review and that differences in qualifications account for the higher acceptance rate, not differences in standards. A group of researchers at Harvard University, however, has analyzed admissions data from fourteen of the most selective colleges in the country (all of which agreed to participate under the condition that the names of the colleges would not be revealed) and reached a different conclusion. Christopher Avery and his colleagues showed that early decision applicant pools, overall, were academically weaker than regular decision pools and that an early decision applicant on average received an admissions boost that was roughly equivalent to an increase of 100 points on the SAT, even when legacies and athletes were excluded. These findings directly contradict what most colleges have been saying publicly for years about their early decision programs.

That can be tough, especially for graduates still looking for work in this sluggish economy. There are lots of different repayment plans for borrowers to choose from, but if you're struggling to manage your student loan payments, consider the benefits of the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) option.

Moving Out & Going To University or College; Is A Student Lifestyle Worth The Debt?
Those who have started university this year have done with the world’s economic crisis on their shoulders. Knowing that they will be in thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds debt by the time they leave may have put many of them off from deciding to live in halls. As university fees are at an all time high (£3290 per year for an average degree course), it seems that, more than ever before, students are deciding to go to universities close to the family home, thus preventing themselves from paying another £4000 a year in rent and bills.
