[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely not. Asian universities select SOLELY on test scores. Some European and Canadians select on a mix of test scores and grades. The US is the epitome of a system that takes into account a host of soft skills that are difficult to quantify, such as quality of essays, extra-curricular achievements, particularly in sports, and legacy and development status. It's absolutely normal (you'd think, right, OP?), that educational institutions pick candidates based on grades and tests scores. But the US puts significantly less emphasis on them than other countries.[/quote] Nobody even freaking knows who actually wrote the essay LOL. If they want to do it right, they need to do the essay in SAT style. Everyone comes to a testing site and given a prompt to write an essay on the spot. [/quote]
