Show Notes
The University of Arizonas new early action deadline has caused a significant drop in applications, potentially impacting tuition revenue. The university aims for 7,000 to 8,000 freshmen, but yield rates are low in some colleges. The tight deadline favors affluent students, potentially sidelining first-gen, low-income, rural, and students of color. Changes to the New Start summer program have also raised concerns. However, incoming students have a higher average GPA, and the university is pushing a holistic review to spot potential in underserved applicants. The real test will be meeting the enrollment target without shortchanging the states diverse talent pool.
