[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - Restating the statement. I think holistic admissions is there and is fine but colleges should also say that, if you don't have a very high GPA (basically nothing less than A's), please dont apply. They would want you to think you have a chance, so they can show their selectiveness.[/quote] If colleges publicly stated minimum GPA or test scores, as many foreign schools do, their admissions rate would rise, and there’d be a 40-page thread on here asking why the school was suddenly bad. They could have standards higher than Oxbridge, it wouldn’t matter: DCUM cares about status, not education, and status is about what other people want but can’t have. Unpredictable, opaque admissions produces low admissions rates, which produce status, and that is what this page wants. We just also want to win. [/quote]
