The University's Committee on Academic Admis- sions and Academic Standards worked on a plan that would incorporate at students high school GPA and ACT score. They hoped to begin the program fall 1983, but were delayed one year. Gallaher, who Chaired that committee, said The committee really did a good job of looking at seleCe tive admissions all over the country, Gallaher said. We felt it we could increase ACT by two points in four years we would be doing, well. One CAE member was directly involved in re- cruitingt He said selective admissions made his job as associate director of admissions more challenging. Under a selective system, obviously you have to identify and attract a higher quality of student, Tim Burcham said. The more quality was increased, the harder it became to get the students. Burcham said the competition between UK and other institutions had heightened because of this. Bureham traveled around the state along with about five others to recruit. From mid-September to early December they traveled and then revisited in the spring. We are very well received, Burcham said. UMost students look very favorable on us and parents appre- ciate our selective admissions. The parents, he said, were impressed by the fact that UK even had stan- dards and that fact aided their selection process.
