[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems about right to me: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/01/opinion/college-admissions-applications.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ok0.G9-F.xk2gFRSMz5Td&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare[/quote] I love how they dispose of the BS that goes by the so-called "holistic" admissions idea - something that unfortunately some DCUM posters seem to believe in: [i] Admissions as currently practiced is designed to let schools whose budgets run on billions of taxpayers dollars do whatever they want. Consider Stanford’s guidance to applicants: “In a holistic review, we seek to understand how you, as a whole person, would grow, contribute and thrive at Stanford, and how Stanford would, in turn, be changed by you.” This perfectly encapsulates the current system, [b]because it is meaningless.[/b][/i] Well said.[/quote]
