<p>(My opinion-Assuming a 40K applicant pool)</p>
<p>Most students don’t get a full holistic review. For the vast majority that don’t have the grades or the SAT or have’nt taken the required course load then they will get a fail-safe review. A quick glance by a human to ensure that someone like a Hollywood star or Olympic athlete isn’t so quickly rejected. But barring that, I’d guess that 36000-90% of the applications get quickly sent to the rejection pile with little more than a couple of minutes of consideration. (Not really holistic in my opinion)</p>
<p>However I do tend to believe the best 4000-10% will probably receive a thorough Holistic review with the admissions trying to arrange the best possible freshman class.</p>
<p>My point is that 90% probably doesn’t get one, but the top 10% probably does.</p>
