"Why Did I Get In?"

Abstract

Admissions policies have adapted a fluid construct, allowing for changes that suit the upcoming academic year. This paper will describe the changing admissions policies that characterized the 1930s and the 1970s, looking specifically at the changes associated with The Woman’s College and later, the changes made during the merge of The Woman’s College and Trinity College. The overlying question from which each aspect of the paper is constructed is “Why did I get in?”
