Vol. 20 No. 5
January 2006
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Last month, CB took a look inside
admissions offices to see how the admissions stats stacked up
for the entering class of 2005. This month, as schools continue
to respond to our annual survey, we take a further look at individual
colleges as well as issues faced by a wide variety of colleges
More Results from CB's
20th Annual National College Admissions Trends Survey
State of Minority Applications
Fifty-two percent of colleges in CB's 20th Annual
Survey reported admitting more minority students this year than
last year. Lafayette C. in Easton, Pennsylvania, for example,
said it saw greater diversity in its applicant pool. Likewise,
Marygrove C. in Detroit witnessed a "rise in diversity,"
said John Ambrose, director.
Only 17 percent of the surveyed schools admitted fewer minority
students in 2005.
And this year, back by popular request, we again asked colleges
to list what percentage of their school is made up of African
American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American students. These
statistics will be included in CB's annual book, Who
Got In? 2006.
In addition, CB asked these colleges to list their retention
rates for minority students both freshman to sophomore year and
for five years. Below are what some colleges reported and the
retention for freshman to sophomore year. (The five-year retentions
will also appear in Who Got In?)
Colleges Reporting More Minority Admits
(and their retention rates freshman to sophomore year) include:
Boston C. (92 percent); Boston U. (92 percent); Butler U.
(74 percent); Campbellsville U. in Kentucky (55 Percent); Carnegie
Mellon U.; Claremont McKenna C. (94 percent); Colgate U.; Drake
U.; Duke (96 percent); Husson C.; Kalamazoo C. (88 percent);
Kettering U. (84 percent); Lafayette C. (90 percent); Longwood
U. (75 percent); Middle Tennessee State U.; Michigan State U.
(83 percent); Middlebury C; North Carolina State U. (89 percent);
North Central C. (84 percent).
Also, Northwestern U. (95 percent); Northwest Missouri State
U. (67 percent); Ohio Northern U.; Ohio U. (78 percent); The
Ohio State U. (90 percent); Oklahoma City U.; Prairie View A&M

Hampden-Sydney C. (78 percent); Indiana State U.; Louisiana State
U. (82 percent); Messiah (80 percent); Texas Lutheran U.; U.
of Oklahoma; Wagner C.; Wartburg (69 percent) and Worcester Polytechnic
Institute.
Schools Admitting the Same Number
of Minority Students in 2005 as in 2004, with retention rates:
Finally, 23 percent said they admitted the same number of
minority students. These include: Adelphi U. (82 percent); Augustana
C.; Brandeis U.; Elon U.; Emory U. (93 percent); Franciscan U.
of Steubenville; Harvard C.; New College of Florida; Philadelphia
Biblical U.; Saint Michael's C.; Sweet Briar C.; U. of Colorado
at Boulder; U. of North Dakota (66 percent) and William Patterson
U. (79 percent).
And the U. of Florida reported fewer African American and
American Indian students and more Asian and Hispanic students.
Range of Financial Aid Amidst
Increased Comparative Shopping
"Students with strong academic preparation continue
to shop more competitively for their 'best deals,'" said
Deborah Eliyahu, of William Paterson U. in New Jersey.
Daniel C. Walls, Emory U., said he saw, "continued careful
analysis of financial aid and scholarship options; and greater
sophistication around important questions to compare schools."
Saint Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont, also noted
that expenses were a key concern, according to Jacqueline Murphy.
CB asked colleges what percent of
their students receive financial aid and the amount of the average
aid package. Here are some examples:
Adelphi U. 87 percent, average aid package $14,100; Augustana
C. 99 percent, $15,017; Boston C. 60 percent, $23,000; Boston

Who
Will Use the "New" SAT Writing Test?
WHO WILL USE the "new" SAT
Writing Test in 2006 admissions? Admissions officers were pretty
evenly split as to whether they planned to use the "new"
SAT Writing test. However, the "No's" outnumbered the
"Yes's" by 57 percent to 42 percent.
But then CB asked colleges, if they were using it,
how they planned to use it. Here is a sample of who said "Yes"
and who said "No" and who said "How."
"Yes" to Using the SAT Writing Test
Adelphi U.; Boston C. "for admission decisions and placement;"
Boston U. Brandeis U.; Butler U. as a "requirement;"
Carnegie Mellon U. will use it "the same as in previous
years;" Claremont McKenna C.; Colgate U.; Duke U. "has
always required a writing subject test, so we are using the new
SAT Writing Test to help us evaluate how our applicants think
and write in the same way we used the old Writing Subject Test;"
Emory U.; Harvard C.; Husson C. for "placement;" Indiana
State U.
Also, Kalamazoo C.; Lafayette C., "writing is valued
at our institution so we will be interested in how the scores
relate to the students' performance in classes in which writing
is expected. We'll view this at the high school level and expect
to study it further once we enroll the first class of students
who have taken the new test."
Others who said "Yes" to the SAT Writing Test: Louisiana
State U., "Students are required to have taken the writing
component for admission;" Messiah C. which will use it "as
a writing sample;" Michigan State U.; Middlebury C.; The
Ohio State U.; Purdue U.; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Saint
Michael's C., "collecting baseline data this year;"
Sweet Briar C.; U. of Michigan and Wagner C.
"No way!" Said One School
To date, more colleges are reporting they did not plan to
use the SAT Writing Test in this year's admissions. Dickinson
C. though, "will collect and store the new SAT Writing score
but will not factor it into the admission decision for fall '06
and perhaps fall '07. The college will look at the correlation
between the writing score and the SAT Critical Reading test,
as well as first-year grades, before deciding how to use the
score in the admission process."
Colleges saying "No" to the SAT Writing Test include:
Augustana C.; Bryant U.; Centre C.; Campbellsville U.; Drake
U.; Elon U.; The Evergreen State C.; Fordham U. which said, "Students
are required to take the exam, but it is not used;" Franciscan
U. of Steubenville ("No way!"); Hope C.; Kettering
U.; Longwood U.; Marygrove C.; Middle Tennessee State U.; New
College of Florida; North Carolina State U. "We will collect
them for 2006-2007 only to look at averages and gather score
statistics. We will not be using written scores as part of admission
requirement decision for a year or two."
North Central C.; Northwestern U.; Northwest Missouri State
U.; Ohio Northern U.; Ohio U.; Oklahoma City U.; Philadelphia
Biblical U.; Pine Manor C.; Prairie View A&M U.; Reed C.;
Sarah Lawrence C.; Smith C.; Stony Brook U.; Texas Lutheran U.;
Truman State U.; U. of Colorado at Boulder; U. of Hawaii at Manoa;
U. of Illinois; U. of North Dakota;" Virginia Tech U. which
hasn't "decided yet if/how it will be used;" U. of
Toledo; Wartburg C.; William Patterson U.; Worcester Polytechnic
Institute "to supplement Verbal SAT I score" and Xavier
U.

sciences and bio-technology as business with engineering."
"Health majors have continued to be popular," said
Carlena Bean, Husson C. Kettering U. saw less interest in Engineering
as a career. According to Ohio Northern U., there's a "gravitation
to career-based programs" with "a strong interest in
sciences, forensics, criminal justice," said Karen P. Condeni,
vice president, enrollment. Stony Brook U. in New York observed
a "greater interest in Liberal Arts."

Are
students visiting campuses
earlier in the admissions process?
"Yes," according to the 80 percent of colleges in this
year's survey. "Students are beginning their college search
as early as sophomore year," said Kenneth G. MacKenzie,
Boston U. "This allows more time to physically visit campus
before making the decision to submit an application."
Likewise, Claremont McKenna saw "more campus visitors,"
according to Richard Vos. Dickinson C. said, "Students are
visiting earlier now-spring of junior year is common, and fall
of junior year and summer of sophomore-junior year is becoming
more prevalent."
At Drake U., "students are making multiple visits."
Fordham, too, said students are visiting "more often."
"Almost annually, increasing number of high school juniors
visit the University for a campus tour and/or targeted Junior
Open House in the spring of their junior year," said Deborah
Eliyahu, William Paterson U. "Although it is the least accurate
reflection of the 'true' experience at a school, increasing numbers
of rising seniors have visited in summer (after junior year of
high school concludes); regular school year (fall/spring) visits
present a more and true (and compelling) visiting experience.
But summer tours have become ones of convenience for families
and of necessity for schools."
Just 13 percent said they were not seeing college visits earlier
in the cycle. New College of Florida in Sarasota said, "There
was an increase in students whose first contact with the school
was through an application."
And Purdue U. said, "We have students visiting year round."

Overall
Graduation Rates
WHAT PERCENT of students graduate
in five years at these schools? This is an increasingly important
question for parents and counselors who are concerned about costs
and the ability of students to get the required courses they
need to graduate.
This year, CB found a wide range of answers. Harvard,
once again, tops the list with 97 percent of all students graduating
in five years.
Here are examples of other school's five-year graduation rates:
Adelphi U. (53 percent); Augustana C. (60 percent); Boston C.
(89 percent); Boston U. (80 percent); Brandeis U. (88 percent);
Carnegie Mellon U. (83 percent); Claremont McKenna C. (90 percent);
Colgate U. (90 percent); Drake U. (69 percent); Duke U. (94 percent);
The Evergreen State C. (51 percent); Fordham U. (78 percent);
