[quote=Anonymous]I have a family member who is an Ivy alum and worked as a reader at same Ivy during grad school. He described the job as looking for a reason to reject. As a practical matter 95% of the applicants are going to be rejected so they read looking for a justification to support the rejection- "mid" LOR's, not enough rigor, bland essays, no compelling EC's etc. That gets the pile down to a more manageable size of applicants where they can start "shaping" the class by considering things like region, urban/rural, gender, major, particular EC's that the college wants to fill out etc. [/quote]
