[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've posted this story on NPR before which gives an insider look at the admissions process to Amherst and how the committee agonizes over their admission decisions. In my view, for the top schools it is a crapshoot in many ways. Straight A's guarantees nothing. Maybe this will help put things into perspective. http://www.npr.org/2011/03/28/134916924/Amherst-Admissions-Process[/quote] Interesting read. Thanks for posting. I recently read the book "Blindspot" (about confronting and combating the unconscious biases we all carry), and this report provides a perfect example of how those biases can have major impacts.[/quote]
