[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The likability thing is probably one of those surveys where you choose an option. And then write about why you chose it. The interviewers could be be writing things that are underhanded. Or maybe just saying things like "Jane was rather polite" as opposed to "Jane was rather polished" make a big difference to the committees?  I'm sure there is inside slang[/quote]

What are you talking about??
The interviewers actually gave higher points to Asians students.
It was suddenly flipped big at the admissions committee.

We all know interviews are nearly irrelevant. Why do we expect the interview score to correlate with any other scoring? The AO says ‘unlikeable’ it’s based on essay or LOR and things the interviewer didn’t access.  DP[/quote]

Asians also get good LOR.  
I don't agree with your wild guess, but people have different opinions, so that's why we have the court.
We'll see what the court says.

But to get into Harvard (or the like) with a 3.4% acceptance rate, you don't just need "good" LOR.  You need exceptional, and the kid has no clue what those LOR really are. 
Fact is there are many factors that go into college admissions, and when 96.6% are rejected, it's difficult to believe it was based on race alone.  [/quote]
