[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are obsessed.  Truly obsessed.

No two colleges use the same formula. To get the best idea of what a particular college does, you look at its common data set. You do that instead of asking weirdos on this website who know nothing to make shit up.[/quote]

Schools spend about 5 minutes per app, there is not some incredibly complex review taking place.[/quote]

[b]Only true for "low quality" apps which are near automatic rejection[/b]s (this could be as high as 80 percent of the apps at the very top schools). For actual admits you can bet they spend way more than that.[/quote]

Not true at all.  UVA got 57,000 applications last year.  It is a public so has a relatively small admissions office.  How do you think they handle that? Yes, they have readers who cull for stats.,, but it really does come down to 5 min or less. The AO of an elite private came and talked to our school about this. He said less than four minutes, but that was also when admissions was more sane.[/quote]
