As the sun rises over the Potomac, most GW students are snuggling a little deeper under the covers. But sophomore Lynn Tan is hitting the pavement on her daily jog around the White House. “It’s a great stress reliever,” says the California native.

The College Board recently released some encouraging statistics concerning the number of minorities taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test. A higher percentage of students who took the SAT last year were minorities, although minority performance on the test remains well-below national averages.
