A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it

24、 to be coming earlier and earlier each year. Thats because colleges have recognized that many students choose to attend the first college that accepts them.

27、now the first deadline for many colleges and universities. This movement toward earlier deadlines is especially popular in the Southeast, with many of the large public universities leading the way.

30、 that big at all. Parents and students need to keep in mind that the higher rates of acceptance with Early Decision can often come from a lot of different factors. Typically, the strongest students are applying early. Athletes and students with focused interests are encouraged to apply for Early Dec
