Loyola Marymount
In the fourth paragraph, the correct term for the CGI effect is “green screen” rather than “green bed.”

Middlebury
The college requires applicants to submit test results from any one of the following: SAT I, three exams in different subjects from the SAT II, or the ACT. It does not accept AP or IB results in fulfillment of the testing requirement.
Olin College of Engineering
Due to the current economic situation, Olin has modified its commitment to providing a full-tuition merit scholarship to all accepted students — at least temporarily. Beginning with the 2010-11 academic year, these scholarships will be reduced by 50 percent for new students. For details see the college website: www.olin.edu.
