Standardized testing’s importance in admissions is greatly diminished due to the pandemic (and the potential of the Supreme Court to rule against affirmative action). And a new way of doing admissions, in which students provide a portfolio but don’t actually apply to colleges, is gaining favor among the majority of colleges that are not competitive in traditional admissions. This year continued trends of recent years, with relatively few colleges filling their classes by May 1 (or even July 1). However, there are some signs of (modest) improvement. Only 36 percent of colleges in the survey had filled their classes by May 1, the traditional date by which students respond to admissions offers. Last year, the figure was 32 percent." >> The Big Picture: "Inside Higher Ed also asks about filling the class by two later dates. Of the 174 colleges that hadn’t met their goals for the class by May 1, 17 percent had met the goals by June 1. And of the 144 colleges that still hadn’t met their goals by June 1, 10 percent said they had done so by July 1." >> Continue Reading A MESSAGE FROM HUDL/BLUEFRAME TECHNOLOGY     Did you know BlueFrame Technology has advanced integrations with top automated cameras like the Hudl Focus?

In no particular order ...  Wisconsin-Whitewater - "Perkins Stadium is one of the all-time best places to watch a game in Division III football. This stadium will truly blow you away." Saint John's - Anytime a DIII stadium makes Sports Illustrated's "College Football Dream Destinations," we must include it in ours. Clemens Stadium is also known as the Natural Bowl, thanks to its surrounding beauty. Mary Hardin-Baylor - They recently built the state-of-the-art Crusader Stadium, which boasts the largest video board in DIII. The stadium is a must-see and the barbecue joints around the stadium aren't bad either. McDaniel - When it comes to the best tailgating in the United States, McDaniel finds themselves on the list. (Fans) drive up to a ridge that overlooks the field. It is easily one of the most unique ways to watch any football, and definitely one of the coolest. >> Continue Reading A MESSAGE FROM BOLD.ORG   If you're a student in the US looking for a better way to pay for higher education, Bold provides thousands of students with $25k scholarships every year.
