[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I know, OP! It's infuriating, because as long as admissions are "holistic", there will be cheating and fraud. It's much harder to cheat on a standardized test than it is to casually invent a bunch of extra-curriculars. University admissions need to be entirely academic and standardized.[/quote] T[b]he rich/privileged love 'holistic'.[/b] Their messaging is that it helps the poors but in reality it allows them to game it to their benefit. Who do you think the college cartel will listen to?[/quote] Utterly false. Who started "holistic" review? The universities did. They don't care squat about what "the rich/privileged" love. The universities love it because they can rely less on GPA and exam stats and more on kumbaya, leading to social engineering of each entering class. Read the Chronicle of Higher Education.[/quote]
