On this Sunday’s edition of News You Can Use on WTIC NewsTalk-1080,
at 5:30a and 9:00a, host Ann Baldwin, and co-host Lisa Nkonoki have a
heated discussion about college applications and how the process has
changed drastically over the years.
Lisa is currently helping one of her granddaughters through the process
and explains some of the many options, including Early Action and Early
Decision, that students have when deciding what institution they want
to attend for the next four years.
In a survey put together by
Intelligent.com, “34% of white college
students lied about their race to
improve chances of admission”. It is
important to note that 75% of those
students went on to be accepted by
those universities they applied to.
Now, why is it acceptable in today’s
society to lie about your race in the college application process and
while there are many other students, such as Lisa’s granddaughter, who
are applying legitimately, without lying, to go to their desired college?
Tune in this Sunday to hear both Ann and Lisa’s thoughts on this study
as well as some possible fireworks!!
