Many Applications Limited Space Common Problem of Universities
A report from Loganport Indiana notes a 25 foot wall collapse at Calvary Presbyterian Church during underground passageway construction. No injuries. The sermon title for Sunday reads Danger Men Working. Across New England, universities face crowded admissions with too many qualified applicants for too few spaces. At UMass 15,000 applicants produced 6,000 acceptances and 3,000 enrollments from 21,000 total applications. Of 8,000 rejected, about half were qualified. Vermont and New Hampshire can admit all qualified state residents, but define qualified by top 20 percent and test scores. Vermont expects high school rankings around top 20 percent with CEEB near 1,000 or within 40 points. New Hampshire uses top 20 percent with median test scores around 530.
