[quote=Anonymous]My admissions friends are fairly senior university folks who I have known for a long time -- and not in connection with Scouting. I've been on alumni student affairs advisory committees and have more than a passing feel for admissions. Scouting organizations don't post numbers on this because the universities do not publicly comment on such things. I'm not here to present trial-type evidence on these matters. However, it is generally-accepted practice in university admissions that applicant activities and awards are given varying weight depending on how certain the admissions officer can be that the claimed activity or award indeed demonstrates a meaningful activity having been engaged-in and completed. Eagle is one of many awards that are given significant weight because of relative difficulty and reliability. [/quote]
