[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think that the Common App and TO was the worst thing to happen to college admissions, and that most schools should go the route that GU goes - require subject tests, their own app, require testing, etc. [/quote] 💯 [/quote] Even so- you can have a perfect standardize test score, 5s all APs…and solid/great everything else and still get deferred. It’s still holistic review.[/quote] “Holistic” review…honestly, given the surge in applications, I would bet dollars to doughnuts there are a bunch of twenty-something-year-old admissions counselors who just open apps, hit decline and move on. With very few exceptions, the admissions staff simply have not added enough staff to fairly and holistically review all 100,000 apps or whatever huge number schools get nowadays.[/quote]
