[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH's cousin used to work in college admissions at two highly selective schools:

"We divide up by scores. So let's say ACT - 35/36 go into a pile, then 34, then 33. Blah blah."

OP, as you can see, that puts your DC in the third pile before even read.[/quote]
This isn’t relevant at most selective schools who don’t get many applicants with 36/35 scores. At the tippy top, sure.[/quote]

Okay, I misused "selective" here: the cousin worked for 2 T5 LACs and 1 T15 university early in career. They know what they are talking about. [/quote]

It’s a bit different today. You get a point score based on rest; and a point score for GPA; point score for ECs and point score for LOR and the points for other….

They don’t start by segmenting by tests…. [/quote]

Well, the cousin still does it for a living so it's basically today.

No, they don't start by segmenting tests but they do divvy along with everything else they are divvying.[/quote]
