Weighted Admission Standards at Public Flagship Universities.

Miller, Stirling S.; And Others

Journal of College Admission, n131 p15-20 Spr 1991

Investigated extent to which public flagship universities use weighted or unweighted standards in admission decision process. Findings from 91 universities indicated that nearly one-half of the flagship universities used exclusively unweighted standards in decision process for most entering freshmen, suggesting that recognition of honors courses in admission decisions remains an issue.
