[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Admissions decisions at these schools is much more subjective than many know. The school is attempting to put together a class that satisfies the disparate needs of the interests on campus.

Publishing the data will only make their jobs harder and take the Admissions process in a direction they are not interested in taking.[/quote]

Yeah, but we deserve to know. [b]Just like how, when you apply to a job, the company sends you the statistics about how many applicants to your position there were, what the race and age of the applicants were, what qualifications were best suited to moving forward in the hiring process, getting to the interview stage, [/b]etc. I don't know why private schools get away with being so opaque when everyone else has to be so open.

Um, this is not universal.  Do they compile this info (half-assedly) in case they get sued? Sure. That's different that displaying a spreadsheet to the world alongside every job opening [/quote]

There is something magic called LinkedIn. Check it out, maybe you will learn something about the profile of the people selected for a specific position. Of course, this is more prevalent in white collar jobs. [/quote]

Are you a bot? LinkedIn doesn't provide me "the statistics about how many applicants to your position there were, what the race and age of the applicants were, what qualifications were best suited to moving forward in the hiring process."  (PP's verbatim words).

LinkedIn does not possess Magic acquisition powers to Magically get verified applicant data from every company for every job opening.  And, I guess, spoiler alert, LinkedIn also doesn't have Magic Powers to get that info about private school applications. [/quote]

This person doesn’t know how to use LinkedIn. [/quote]
