Testing, Testing
As if applying to college isn’t taxing enough, the process seems to have been ratcheted up another notch. Ambitious high school students are no longer content with just one college admissions test. Many applicants to the nation’s most selective colleges and universities are taking both the ACT and the SAT. http://nyti.ms/1dIwsMa

PSU Or NYU? Statistics, Psych Or Social Work?
It’s not hard for a student today to unwittingly take on a
life-altering amount of debt. To help students make informed decisions about
whether it’s worth paying a premium for a certain college or degree, here’s an
online comparison of graduates’ income: www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2014. Students can compare earnings for graduates of 1,058
colleges and universities as well as national median starting and midcareer
salaries for 130 majors. Who knew: The starting salary in nursing beats
business $54,100 to $41,400. More useful, the gap narrows midcareer: $70,200 to
$70,000.
