What’s new this week:
This week, the annual college rankings from U.S. News & World Report dropped to mixed reviews and claims of a greater consideration of social mobility. But Washington Monthly has been focusing on the public good in its rankings for years. Be sure to check out the latest mention in an article for Inside Higher Ed, a feature in The Atlantic, as well as a special interview on Press Pool with Julie Mason for a discussion with Washington Monthly’s Editor in Chief Paul Glastris on college voting, midterm elections and the Monthly’s new vocational certificates rankings.
Admissions leaders from Grinnell College and Scripps College share the pros and cons of writing about adversity for a college application essay in this piece in U.S. News & World Report.
