The National Association for College Admission Counseling on Thursday released a report on very early admissions -- those that take place before the start of high school students' senior years. NACAC has discouraged such admissions offers, saying that they are not good for the applicants -- even if they get admissions offers. The association's policies say that admissions offers should not be made until after transcripts are recorded for the second semester of students' junior years. The report found that only a minority of colleges (7 to 15 percent) engaged in such early admissions programs, and that there was some confusion about which policies the association was encouraging. Several years have passed since the data were collected, so it is possible that that the proportion of institutions offering very early admission is even smaller today.
