[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got back from my kid's admitted student day at the college she chose. Lots of very pissed off parents asking about the admissions process during the Q/A with the admissions folks. All they kept repeating was they used a "holistic admissions process".

Ridiculous.

Why were they angry if their kids were admitted?[/quote]

That is my question too. :)[/quote]

Two reasons - this was Emory's Oxford campus - the admitted students to Oxford were pretty damn impressive and parents wanted to know why they were turned down at the main campus of Emory, i.e. how the admissions teams made their choices as to who got into the main campus, and who got into the satellite. I knew why re: my own kid -  classes for her chosen major are considered more in-depth at this campus, she indicated she enjoyed smaller classes/good relationships with teachers, something Oxford delivers.

The admissions people were not really answering the questions to the parents' satisfaction - the parents felt they were using too many euphemisms and not enough specifics.[/quote]
