What's the secret to getting into Harvard? Be a nicer human being.
You know things need to change when the most elite colleges in the country feel compelled to "reduce achievement pressure" on American high-schoolers.

It's endorsed by 85 top institutions.

Students vying for admission to the Class of 2020 top 20,000 at Tufts University.
For the first time, more than 20,000 applications have arrived in Bendetson Hall from hopeful applicants seeking a place in Tufts’ first-year undergraduate class. It’s the fifth time in six years that Tufts has set or tied the record for most applications for first-year undergraduate study here, and a 6 percent increase over the past two years.
