Michael- can you provide some reference for that. I have seen that Harvard is changing the fee structure, particularly affecting those making 120 - 180K per year (to limit it to 10% of income) to make it more affordable to upper middle income (sic) families. I did a search and could find nothing to indicate they were lowering admissions standards. That would be interesting to see. Send us something. Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

teaching: intro to neuropsychology; psychopharmacology; general; history and systems -----Original Message----- From: Michael Sylvester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 12/11/2007 6:17 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Brains same color and Harvard Harvard U has just announced that it will no longer check applicants' home equity status and academic levels in admissions.As a matter of fact Harvard will be offering aid to those so called low achievers so that they can come aboard.The current thread on Tips of the effect of early environment and IQ status could be tested by the new Harvard model.My feeling is that when those low income and mortgage-challenged enter Harvard,they will be motivated just by the power and demands of the situation by just being at Harvard,I personally feel that we should abolish IQ and intelligence from our vocabulary .They have the appearance of being pre-deterministic and deterministic and kills hope for futuristic achievements. Harvard's new approach could point out the strerility of Eurocentric concepts like IQ and intelligence and predictability and demonstrates the positive effects of just "being there."
