"One Degree of Separation"

April can be the cruelest month for high school seniors agonizing over college acceptances, but it holds no terrors for Full House's Scott Weinger, who, (!) after deferring a year, plans to attend Harvard this fall. Weinger was also the title character's voice in Aladdin, but he suspects Harvard was less impressed by his acting credits than his 1,320 SATs. ''I don't think they accepted Aladdin or said, 'That kid from Full House applied -- let's take him!' '' says Weinger, 18, who may return to Full House as a guest star and will continue reporting on youth issues for Good Morning America. ''There's a trend among young actors to apply to top colleges. We see what happened to people in our positions 10 or 15 years ago, and we can learn from their mistakes. We don't want to end up on Donahue talking about our rehabilitation.''
