Educators across the U.S. are calling for major changes to the admissions process in higher education. The National Center for Educational Statistics (or NCES) reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014. The schools admitted more than 5 million students in that time. But the problem is not in the number of students that the schools admitted, a new report says. The report is called “Turning the Tide Making Caring Common.” The Harvard School of Graduate Education released the report, with 80 other schools and organizations, in January. The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems. David Hawkins is the Executive Director for Educational Content and Policy at the National Association for College Admissions Counseling (or NACAC). Hawkins says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply.
