The College Admissions Dance

This year's high school graduating class is the largest of the last 30 years. That means the college admissions dance has gotten even more complicated. Highly selective colleges like Harvard and Princeton are eliminating early admissions and digging further into waiting lists. That's causing ripples for college admissions across the country. If you're trying to get into college this year, how's this affecting you?

Also, Senators Obama and Clinton are one state south of us in Oregon today. They're stumping in preparation for the primaries on Tuesday. The Stranger's Eli Sanders is there too. We'll get a live update of what's happening. And, food prices are causing some local jails to re–visit the meals they serve inmates.
