Harvard: Early admission favors rich, will be ended

Harvard University is ditching its early admission policy next year, a move a University of Wisconsin official called “Harvard coming into the 20th century.”

“Harvard is beginning to think like Wisconsin,” said UW admissions director Rob Seltzer, after the Ivy League school announced it is dropping its “early action” policy because the policy favors wealthier students over minorities and the poor.
