| I guess we can all bandy about ideas on what makes a great student, or what admissions offices are looking for... but the thing I always wonder about is whether the admissions offices ever do some serious research. Do they go out on campus and identify the leaders, the academic stars, the solid contributors and then go back and look at the applications for those students and see if they could see their future success? Do they challenge their own assumptions by doing statistical analyses? Or are they just flying by the seat of the pants? |
