Harvard University, breaking with a major trend in college admissions, will eliminate its early admissions program next year, with university officials arguing that such programs put low-income and minority applicants at a distinct disadvantage in the competition to get into selective universities.
For three decades Harvard has offered a particular form of early admissions, in which students who are accepted early still have the freedom to go elsewhere. Various forms of early admissions are offered by hundreds of colleges and universities, with many requiring applicants to commit upfront(预先) to attending the university if offered early admission.
The popularity of the procedure grew significantly in the 1990s,as colleges tried to increase their competitive advantage by locking in strong candidates early. But at Harvard and many other universities officials have grown concerned about that early admissions present a major obstacle to low-income and working-class students. Such students have also been hurt by steep tuition increases and competition with students from wealthy families who pour thousands of dollars into college consultants and tutoring.
Under binding early admission programs, students have to commit to a college long before they know how much aid they will be offered; whereas students who apply for admission in the regular cycle are able to compare financial-aid offerings from various colleges before making up their minds in April. Under Harvard’s early admissions program, students do not have to decide until May 1 whether to accept an admission offer. Even so, many potential applicants did not understand the distinction between Harvard’s program and those that require an upfront commitment and were discouraged from applying.
Under Lawrence H. Summers, the Harvard president who left office in June, the university took a number of steps to make itself more accessible to poor and working-class students. The idea of abandoning early admission was developed after Derek Bok became interim president. Early admission will remain in effect in the current academic year, which is already under way. [br] If a student is admitted under a binding early admission program, he will lose the chance of comparing _____.
选项
答案
financial-aid offerings from various colleges
解析
题目问的是,在“绑订式”提前录取制度下,得到入学许可的学生将失去对什么进行比较的机会:原文第四段首句提到,在“绑订式”提前录取制度下,得到入学许可的学生早在获知经济补助的数额以前就要与高校签订就读协议,而参加常规录取的学生则可在比较各所高校提供的数额以后再决定就读那所高校。由此可知,在“绑订式”提前录取制度下,得到入学许可的学生是没有机会在各所高校之间进行比较的,故答案为financial-aid offerings from various colleges。
