[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most schools are reverting back to testing requirements, so there will likely be some form of academic index used. I think this is used for non-athletes too, so not sure I understand why folks are saying it is only used for athletic recruitment.[/quote] It's against the [b]holistic review[/b] principle. The mere use of test score in the academic index creates inequality. It's okay for Athlete use. The bar is set lower for athletes.[/quote] Please call bs where it should be called bs. With 60k+ applicants, AOs are spending at max 5-7 mins per applicant so they for sure aren't sussing out what makes for a holistic review. [/quote] Roughly 75% are weeded out in the first scan with near automated process. So AO's are really spending their time on 15k applications. But even then it is only 10-12 minutes per app on average. [/quote]
