College Admission Process Impacted by Improving High School Grades
11/20/2006

According to a November 18, 2006 article from The Associated Press, the college admission process has been impacted by the fact that high school grades across the country are on the rise. With an increasing number of college applicants boasting grades in the "A" range, college administrators must use other means to determine who will be accepted for admission. While experts disagree regarding whether the improved high school marks are always deserved, the bottom line is that grades cannot be used as the key element in making admission offers. Some fear that, rather than grades, standardized test results may emerge as the determining factor.
