Endorse the Turning the Tide Goals

We invite college admissions leaders to join over 200 colleagues across the United States who have endorsed Turning the Tide.

Turning the Tide focuses on the following goals in admissions: 

1. Developing greater concern for others and the common good among high school students;

2. Increasing equity and access for disadvantaged students; and

3. Reducing excessive achievement pressure.

Please note that endorsement indicates that you agree in general with the ideas and recommendations, not that you necessarily agree with and will seek to implement every specific idea and recommendation.
