...benefits than those students without access to well-connected college counselors. Moreover, and most significantly, students who apply early action or regular decision frequently inform every college to which they are admitted of their best financial aid offer in order to spark a bidding war. Schools concerned about their yield (the percentage of admitted students who enroll) frequently jump into the fray, substantially increasing candidates’ financial aid offers. Even without playing colleges against each other, regular decision and early action candidates can still compare the offers they receive and incorporate that information into their decision...
Early decision programs grew dramatically in the 1990s, as they enabled colleges to simultaneously become harder to get into (since fewer spots were available for regular decision) and claim a higher yield (since early decision students yield at 100 percent), two crucial statistics in the hugely influential U.S. News & World Report rankings. As early decision’s influence increased, so did its critics...
...least uncharacteristic. An administration whose very legitimacy rests on the assumption that elderly Florida Jews voted en masse for Pat Buchanan has quickly become a regime that can only be sustained on the construction of a bigger and bigger house of cards. As with Enron, big lies can yield big rewards for Bush and Company. Bush has created a distraction, just in time for congressional elections, from the wave of scandals that have rocked corporate America, the Republican agenda and Bush’s popularity. It’s a diversion from the reality that the war on terrorism, while...
...parts are smaller than 100 nanometers and to the new tools, such as Veeco Instruments' atomic-force microscopes and Nanometrics' inspection tools for semiconductor makers, that allow the tiny parts and particles to be observed and manipulated. It is a mysterious realm in which the laws of classical physics yield to those of quantum mechanics, in which the powerful bonds between atoms overtake the effects of gravity that rule the big world. Yet scientists have moved beyond the basic exploration of nanotech to its exploitation. The National Science Foundation foresees a $1 trillion market by 2015 for nano products...
