On early action

I am writing in response to two Opinion columns in the Nov. 19 edition of The Cavalier Daily. The columns, "Early action: a step back" and "Early admission redux," both pertain to the recent decision by the Office of Undergraduate Admission to offer an early action plan for prospective students in 2011. For the past six months, the Admission Office has been studying the possible impact this decision could have on high school students, particularly low-income and minority students.
