New Counseling
To Aid Smarties'
A new system of freshman
counseling has been put in effect
at the University this term. The
new program will put more em
phasis on devoting time to fresh
men who have scored high on
their entrance exams but have
not been able to get good grades
in school.
In the past more of the em
phasis of freshmen counseling
has been on those who have not
scored highly in their entrance
exams. But fall term results this
school year have proved that
students in the high stanine
group as well as those in the low
class are in need of help in sev
eral cases.
Of the 763 men taking the
freshmen entrance exams. 24
achieved the stanine rating of
nine, which is the highest pos
sible. Twenty eight others rank
ed in the eight stanine group.
Among 594 freshmen women. 22
were in the nine group and 29
scored in the eight class.
Pre-Med Tests
Planned for May
Students wishing admission to
medical schools in the. fall of
1956 are urged to take the med
ical college admission test in
May.
More than 300 local centers
Will give the tests, which may
be taken Saturday, May 7, or
Monday, October 31. The tests
concern general scholastic abil
ity, understanding of modern so
ciety. and science achievement.
According to the Educational
Testing Service, no special prep
aration other than a review of
science subjects is necessary.
As many medical schools se
lect entering students early in
the fall, the ETS stresses that
the May tests be taken. The
tests are required of applicants
by almost every medical college
throughout the country. All
questions on the tests are of the
objective type.
Application forms, and a bul
letin of information, which gives'
details of registration, as well
as sample questions, are avail
able from pre-medical advisers or
from Educational Testing Ser
vice, 20 Nassau Street. Prince
ton, N. J. Applications mugt
