[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those of you who dislike the Harvard handles admissions: How would you prefer they run their admissions process? What characteristics specifically would you prefer that they look at and how would they be measured and prioritized? Would you prefer that the school have a different mission than it presently has? How would you word that mission in one sentence? What are the ways, both in admissions and in the daily life of the school that you would like to see them change? [/quote] These are great questions and I hope they motivate discussion. I fear that if Harvard changed its admission policies to what some people here seem to want (scores and grades only, as far as I can tell from their comments), then Harvard would lose some of the attributes that make it so appealing in the first place. (Also, incidentally, admitting solely based on test scores and grades would kill every department except sciences, pre-med, and maybe Econ).[/quote]
