[quote=Anonymous]Holistic is an end run to avoid transparency. Universities need far more students applying than they can take. If students realized what their chances were based on things they had no control over and could not change, they wouldn’t apply there. Test optional increases the pool of applicants substantially which gives schools leeway to pick based on the demographics they want, the financial implications and how it will impact their ranking. First generation is total bullshit. DH and I grew up UMC and neither of our parents did anything to help with our college apps. The majority of kids who have one parent with a US bachelor’s degree do not have access to expensive SAT prep, private college admissions counselors or any other resources than the kid whose parents don’t have a degree, yet they get screwed over.[/quote]
