...have the exact number of applications or matriculation of students from the United Kingdom. Henry J. Dawkins ’10, who attended an independent English secondary school that is privately run, said that the only people who tended to apply to U.S. schools were those who had a direct connection to the United States. “Without backing from high schools, you wouldn’t think about it or have the support to do it,” Dawkins said about why students from state schools in the United Kingdom are less likely to apply...
Fortunately, the College does not appear to have a preferred lenders list. Undergraduates who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents with good credit histories can borrow up to the full cost of attendance (less financial aid) through the federal Direct PLUS program in addition to the standard federal direct subsidized and unsubsidized student loans. Other residents of the U.S. or Canada, as well as international students with an eligible co-applicant, can borrow up to full cost through the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority, a non-profit state organization created by the state legislature in 1982 to provide inexpensive student financing...

While international students can receive direct subsidized loans from HBS, the school also advertises CitiAssist loans, which have higher interest rates than the Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loans and the Federal Perkins Loan, but are available regardless of citizenship status and have more flexible credit requirements...
...YouTube's force-multiplying power. Web video is like a pop single: an attention-getting hook is important. Fox's baring his frailty was particularly YouTube-friendly because the medium rewards authentic, vrit captured moments. (It also rewards shock and humor, which could favor outrageous ads.) A universal, direct message is key. (No dead languages, for instance.) Above all, even local admakers should remember that now they have a potential national audience a click away--one that can engage their ads by creating its own spots and ripostes...
...only when activists’ appeals fall on deaf ears that we take our campaign into the streets or Mass. Hall. Direct action and civil disobedience are tactics with long and storied histories in this University, dating back to Henry David Thoreau, Class of 1837, and W.E.B. Dubois, Class of 1890, but they are always tactics of last resort...
