[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine they have a way to get through the applications quickly. The magnet has been around for a long time. I bet that in addition to prescreening, they have prepared spreadsheets or some other way of quickly comparing the students. Doing it in a day seems feasible if they have used the time leading up to the day to sort the applicants. [/quote] They probably use a rubric like I use for college admissions. First, we usually quickly sort applicants into 3 categories: definitely NO, definitely YES, everyone else. This usually eliminates half the pile. Next you score applications against the rubric and rank. What takes the most time is deliberating with colleagues about applicants we don't all agree on.[/quote]
