[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]it's basically today.

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

i don't think so.  You were using the term "piles" throughout your narrative.  Yes, that's what we used to do. Put folders in piles.  That all stopped with the advent of the computer.  So you are a troll or repeating a very old story[/quote]
