[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Holistic is merit. [/quote] Absolutely FALSE. By definition holistic admissions gives weight to many things that have nothing to do with academic merit. There's plenty of reasons to favor holistic admissions, but meritocracy is not one.[/quote] Academic merit as you put it is not the be all and end all. It is a part -- as is the rest. Don't look to Asia or Europe for the answers here. Both have been falling behind us for years.[/quote] Didn't say it was the be all end all. I clearly stated that there are many reasons to favor holistic admissions, but they are not academically meritocratic. [/quote] Colleges have many programs that value "merit" that you may not think is "academic" and that a student with a perfect academic profile may not be even remotely qualified to study.[/quote]
