[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real answer, which no one likes, is institutional priorities. Has nothing to do with the applicant. Does it help shape our class more to have X kid or Y kid? That's what they ask. They don't pick the "better" applicant- they pick who they think they need.[/quote] If undersubscribed majors are institutional priorities, and you research and find out that a certain liberal arts major at a private university only had a handful of graduating seniors with that major, is that how you determine that it’s undersubscribed? How do you determine if something is a priority? A declaration of new funding for a department? Notices from the Provost about the importance of a department? Where would you go to find this information?[/quote]
