[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s depends on the school. You can view their profiles for the school you are applying to. For example, here is Amherst: https://www.amherst.edu/admission/staff[/quote]

Thank you for posting this.

Interesting how reading the admissions officers brief profiles affected my view & understanding of Amherst College & reminded me of the overwhelming liberalism of the Pioneer Valley colleges.[/quote]
There’s nothing political about these bios, unless you’re nervous that people read, cycle, and hike [/quote]
+1, the bios are nearly identical to the ones at Pomona, for reference: https://www.pomona.edu/admissions/connect/admissions-officer . Has nothing to do with the area.[/quote]

Is this a good thing? If Amherst doesn't understand your accomplishments so will every other college? Each school should be different. [/quote]
What? No people just like reading and hiking, no matter where they are in the US.[/quote]

Ok. what about other esoteric stuff?  I give you an example of Lacrosse - it's widely known now. But used to be a East/Mid-Atlantic sport. Back then - you could participate in DMV high-schools but unheard of in the rest of the country. Traveling back in time - Amherst would know what a winning Lacrosse championship meant. But would people at Pomona in the 1990s know?  And now think of all the 100s of unique cultures the US offers and are now getting facilitated would these AOs know what they mean?

Yes - if you are boring and only participate in the norm activities and that's what the AOs want then moving on. Life is too valuable to get homogenized.
