What College Selectivity Looks Like to the Public.
Moll, Richard W.; Wright, B. Ann
Journal of College Admission, n161 p12-23 Fall 1998
Discusses the effect of the media's trend to emphasize a few selective colleges with high tuition costs and its effect on other schools. Also discusses ranking colleges and universities. Suggests that the perceptions caused by media hype and rankings may cause the substance of higher education to matter less than the style of the institution. (MKA)
