[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of the kids who “publish” (I.e. their parents pay a prof to “work” with their kid and put their name on a paper).[/quote]

Pretty sure no professors would go for this as a paid arrangement. Come on!

Junior assistant professors and lecturers do.[/quote]

The big name New York private college counselors facilitate this for your kid….yes it happens. Quite easy tbh.

Remember who is reading the application. It’s usually mid to late 20s woman (super-liberal/woke) who majored in a soft major likely at that same institution. She’s not going to do deep research on whether or not this professor at a random - sometimes no name or lower ranked uni is reputable or not.

Ask me how I know.[/quote]

The readers you describe are the first and/or second points of sorting/sifting in the process (sometimes the initial "read' is automated/algorithm). Do you think the senior AOs and Dean(s) who make the final decisions at elite, highly selective schools, usually through committees, don't know what is going on? Seriously asking your opinion.

Have you actually sat through any college info sessions?  No one in admissions is a rocket scientist.[/quote]

I have attended at least 10 and never heard from the Dean or senior AOs. The question remains. Is there a distinction between the initial readers and the senior AOs/Deans that make the final decisions? I know most of the senior AOs have more than 15 years of experience based on the admissions podcasts that I listen to. Some are lifers like the Dean’s at Dartmouth and Harvard.[/quote]

Admissions decisions are made by committee after presentations from the admissions officers.  The deans are reviewing very few applications.[/quote]

That makes sense. So is there a difference between readers and AOs? Are people with less than 5 years experience making committee decisions?[/quote]
