SPRINGFIELD, MA (WGGB/WSHM) – Late last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ended their session by overturning higher education’s right of affirmative action. In response to that 6-to-3 ruling, many have advocated for the ban on legacy admissions, or a college or university’s ability to honor familial ties when admitting students.
“My top one being Georgetown. I would say Yale, Harvard, Princeton, UPenn, Boston University, of course, and Howard University,” said Wilbraham rising senior Abyssinia Haile.
Right now, Haile is looking at a fall full of college applications, testing, and fees. It’s no easy test for any senior with a full course load, but there’s one more thing making her life harder.
