NEBHE Senior Fellow Stafford Peat teamed up with Sarah Linet, a policy specialist with the Great Schools Partnership, to write a piece for the online collaborative CompetencyWorks titled Debunking a Myth–Competency-Based Transcripts Don’t Disadvantage High School Graduates in the Admissions Process.
Peat and Linet note that a focus group of deans and directors of admission from the most selective private institutions in New England “provided a resounding, loud, powerful message that students from a competency-based system are not and would not be disadvantaged in the admissions process.”
