[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tracking here this thread has jumped from:

1. Did you get an interview yes/no?
2. When/Why did the weigh recommendations letter so heavily. Who graded these letter and how?
3. Should they reinstate the entrance exam?
4. They should use PARCC scores or other standardized tests.
5. Students should not be a part of the interview process.
6. What is the most fair and equitable process?

GPA, interview, essay would be my preference for admission. And stop advertising a 3.0 as a minimum when a 3.7 historically has been the minimum for an interview.  [/quote]

In different emails from SWW they told both that 3.0 and 3.7 was the cut-off. How can they not know?

They seem confused by their own standards and can't keep their story straight. The admissions process is a mess, and anything but transparent and fair. [/quote]

There are two different cut offs - 3.0 is the minimum to apply. Once the applications are in, the cut off for who gets an interview is dependent on the top however many students they decide to interview, which in the past, has been a 3.7 or higher, but it is not an exact "cut off". They "don't know" because it depends on the application pool. I am not trying to argue that the admissions process is not a mess, or is transparent and fair, but just that this is one part that is fairly clear and does make some sense.[/quote]

Thank you. Why it's necessary to have to hunt through an anonymous forum to get this information is beyond why. Why is SWW so opposed to transparency in the process? It's frustrating and suspicious at best.[/quote]

Doubt you're going to get very far. This forum is filled with opinions and BS. They will fall back on the published rubric and say the other stuff(if available) is proprietary. At the end of the day, you may be even more frustrated.... [/quote]
