6000 Applicants Ask
Admission Next Fall
Approximately 6000 of an expected 17,000 University
applicants have already returned their requests for admis
sion in September, according to Sherman T. Stanford, asso
ciate dean of admissions.
Stanford said the Universi
the number of incoming students
for the June term until sometime
in February. This cannot be de
termined until-then, he said, be
cause applications were sent to
students on Oct. 15 and public
announcement of the term sys
tem was not made until Oct. 30.
Applications which have been
received from State College
High School, he said, indicate
that freshman enrollment will
be good for the summer term.
In order to eliminate the hu
man element of error, Stanford
said, machines are used to pro
cess and code the information.
Final decisions, however, are not
made merely on the basis of ma
chine computations, St ant or d
raid.
The University is currently
studying new methods of judeing
applicants' qualifications. Cur
rently rank in high school class
and College Board aptitude tests
of all except those in the top 20
per cent of their class are used as
criteria for decisions on appli
cants.
The high school courses which
the applicant has taken are also
coded to determine the curricu
lum for which he is qualified
to be admitted. If the student
lacks some requirement for his
desired curriculum, he is noti
fied.
In addition to this information,
the University is attempting to
find a way to account for dif
ferences in the quality of high
schools.
Another study deal 4 with the
record of the number of students
who go to college from a given
high school. It also seeks to de
termine whether the students
from the high school which sends
more graduates to college may
also be the source of more quali
fied applicants.
A third study is concerned with
grades in high school English.
Since English is considered a basic
skill in college work, the study
will try to determine whether
high school grades in English can
be indicative of success.
