Among the first to do so was the University of Chicago, which in 1953 terminated the early entrance program it had been operating since the 1930s.[31] Other schools, intrigued by the strong results, established experimental programs of their own; in 1956, 29 member schools of the College Board were operating early entrance programs, of which only 6 had been part of the Early Admission Program.[32] But in the absence of strong institutional support, and facing resistance and skepticism from both high schools and universities, these programs subsequently died away.[33] The early entrance programs at three of the original participating schools, however, continue to the present day: Shimer College,[1] Goucher College,[34] and the University of Utah.[21]
