[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this discussion of GPA, test res, etc - the adcoms don’t have time to parse every single minute detail or every application.  I imagine they barely even glance at this information before making a decision.[/quote]

Wtf? The common app is nothing but a data base. Applications can be quickly and accurately tagged and segmented based on classes, grades,  counselor box-checking and scores. Courses load  at uva is critical and  easy to assess. Once these hurdles are passed, they do indeed read rec’s, essays and ec’s closely.  But you do have to pass some bats first. [/quote]

That could be how the schools that make you enter every course and grade yourself do it (UCs, Penn State), but most kids don’t enter their entire record into the Common App. It’s only a few schools that make them do that.

With thousands of high schools sending transcripts in different formats, I’m pretty sure AOs have to go over every one. Hence it taking to damn long to hear back from them. [/quote]
