[quote=Anonymous]Holistic is used to describe the process because a school will get many applications were kids have essentially identical test scores and GPAs. They can't take all of them, so short of pinning names to a wall and throwing a dart, they will then look at other things. Maybe they wound up with a bunch of kids who did Model UN in last years acceptance pool. So maybe this year they will instead opt for the kid that did debate. This doesn't mean "Model UN = bad" or "debate = good" it just means they have a really strong applicant pool and from year to year they will try to get a good mix of good students that all have great test scores and high GPAs. This is what they mean when they say "holistic."[/quote]
