[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that’s missing- most elite schools can’t support 100% of their classes being the same 3 majors. They need people to subscribe to their other departments.

It’s also good to have students with excellence in a lot of different areas. To be Frank, few people get famous off of engineering or science even at the elite level, so you wanna cast the net wide for the highest probability of getting an impactful, important alum[/quote]

Holistic admissions doesn't mean not admitting to the same 3 majors. It means admitting a variety of students to those 3 majors. [/quote]
No it’s also a population control element. Someone has to be in the classics department, even if they’re lower tier than the CS majors. Same with area studies.[/quote]

"Lower tier"?[/quote]
Worse student. The CS and engineering students are some of the best students across most universities. The humanities students…eh[/quote]

lol
this is why you went to a state school[/quote]
