Description
To help improve the odds of being accepted by America's most desirable colleges and universities, increasing numbers of high school students are getting a jump on the competition by applying for early admission. This ABC News program looks at the controversial process and contrasts it with Georgetown University's nonbinding early action alternative. The marketing efforts of Georgetown-and of some of its would-be freshmen-are discussed. The weighty influences of college rankings and test scores are also addressed, as are unfair advantages of socioeconomic class and a deep ambivalence about the perceived advantages of race.
