早期申请计划已将大学招生过程变成了一个高度战略性的舞台。人们普遍认为，但大学很少承认，早期申请者在招生决策中会受到青睐。本报告是哈佛大学出版社即将出版的一本书的简要摘要。我们分析了 14 所精挑细选大学的录取记录，发现早期申请者被录取的可能性明显高于具有类似资格的普通申请者。我们对大学生和高中辅导员的采访展示了对早期申请性质的广泛了解。
Early application programs have turned the college admissions process into a highly strategic arena. It is widely believed, but seldom acknowledged by colleges, that early applicants are favored in admissions decisions. This report is a brief summary of a book that will be published by Harvard University Press. We analyze admission records from 14 highly selective colleges, finding that early applicants are significantly more likely to be admitted than are regular applicants with similar qualifications. Our interviews with college students and high school counselors demonstrate a wide range of knowledge about the nature of early applications.
