National Universities Where Students Are Eager to Enroll by M'Lynn Musgrove

Most people only think of the student competition with peers when thinking of college applications but this article sheds light on the actual colleges and their struggles to get the top students to their campuses. 265 colleges were polled. Only 25 of those said that over 50% of their accepted students actually enrolled to the school. Of these, Harvard was the #1 most popular choice for students to attend. Other schools like Yale, Princeton, and MIT were close behind.

I think this is an article that all students that are getting ready to apply for college should read. It really takes the pressure off of students and puts it onto the colleges. It shows how college shopping should be a positive experience that is ultimately the students decision.
