[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reddit post was eye-opening: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1k1v6b3/the_college_admissions_process_is_baffling/[/quote] What I think is happening: at some level, and this may be in the final shaping of the class done by the admission director, yield algorithms end up overtaking less-impressive, but still "qualified," academic stats, in terms of the final admission decision. Lower stats mean more likely to enroll. It will be interesting to see what happens, but enrollment management algorithms are playing a bigger role than ever.[/quote] Sorry I didn't put that correctly. I meant that yield algorithms end up overtaking academic stats in importance, such that less-impressive but still qualified stats result in acceptance, whereas high stats lead to a lower yield score, which ultimately hurts getting an admission offer.[/quote]
