[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I highly recommend you read “ A year Inside College Admissions: Who Gets in and Why “ , by Jeffrey Selingo. https://a.co/d/9B98QsX The author provides a history about holistic admissions, which started in the first half of the 20th century. Sadly, holistic admissions are darkly rooted in anti-semitism. Initially, the ivies and the top universities in the North East, only used grades and testing for candidates to get into the school. However, the schools which were predominantly, white and protestant, started realizing that Jewish students were doing very well on those tests. Because they wanted to limit the number of Jews at their schools, they started with this whole concept of holistic admissions: that it’s not just about grades, it’s about athletics, background, and the whole candidate story. [/quote]People applauding "holistic" admissions ignore the history at their peril[/quote]
