Students seeking to work for the Q Guide this summer had their hopes dashed when Dean of Undergraduate Education Jay M. Harris announced last Thursday that the College will drastically alter the format of next year’s guide, eliminating the need for student involvement in the guide’s creation. In an e-mail sent to summer applicants last Thursday, Q Guide editor Charles C.

Rather than starting off their university years with a set major and pre-professional plans, students will...

"I think it's safe to say that this is the most uncertain year in terms of predicting what students will do," says Christoph Guttentag, Duke University's dean of undergraduate admissions.
