[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people ask about stats so much? It’s been known for years that college admissions is a holistic process and that a kid with a 4.0/1600 can easily be rejected from a school that admits a kid with a 3.6/1450. When are people going to realize that ECs, LORs, awards, essays, interviews, fit, etc. are as, if not much more, important?[/quote] +1. It's missed heavily by DCUM that LORs, essays, and ECs are largely what separate kids from the pack. There are so many kids with similar profiles applying for the same majors at the same schools. A 1450 vice a 1550 is not going to be the determining factor. Instead, they blame recruited athletes, URMs, and legacies (aka applicants who stand out from the pack) for why they're not getting in. Be unique and authentic![/quote]
