Thousands Of Promising Students Aren’t Getting Bachelor’s Degrees. How Can Four-Year Schools Help?
“New research from the American Talent Initiative (ATI) shows that more than 50,000 high-achieving, low- and moderate-income community college students don’t transfer to four-year institutions — every year. Furthermore, about 15,000 of these students have GPAs of 3.7 or higher, which means they would be competitive candidates no matter where they applied. What’s holding them back? According to ATI, a lack of information and support keeps these students from applying to the four-year schools where they’d thrive.”
