[quote=Anonymous]Understanding Admissions —- to the degree it’s possible —- requires you to look at this from the perspective of the school. On any campus, there are different constituencies that Admissions has to serve. The CFO wants full classes and the tuition revenue associated with that. The coaches want athletes. The Drama department wants people interested in Theater. The faculty wants smart, hard-working kids. The Alumni want their kids and their friends admitted. And the list of constituencies goes on. Above all, they don’t want problem kids or problem parents. They are expected to screen these out. Admissions has to serve all these constituencies. and they have to maintain relationships over a period Of years with schools that supply them applicants. Admissions is going to be judged based on the satisfying the needs of almost everyone on campus. From the outside the process looks capricious and unfair. But to the school, it’s rational. [/quote]
