LETTERS, Page 6Hyping for College
We surely can't fault those overeager youngsters who apply for
admission to U.S. colleges and universities and offer proof of
their talents in videotapes, paintings and cookies (EDUCATION,
Dec. 19). They will, after all, grow up. But what about those
gatekeepers at the halls of higher learning, college admissions
officers? Are they really not taken in by these sycophantic,
exhibitionist and plasticized efforts to be noticed?

I am advising my children to think twice before selecting a
college whose admissions staff can be influenced by chocolate-chip
cookies or other gimmicks.
