Thx for giving all the valuable info to everyone here . I believe most people just want to air their frustrations here , not that they believe they can get anything changed much. It is because once the acceptance,rejections or waitlists are out , it is almost impossible to change the results. However, there are two major points here. Most, if not all colleges use objective ( sat, gpa etc) and subjective( extracurriculum, essays, “achievements”) to decide on admissions. If subjective measures become more dominant , possible bias or even discrimination could happen. Remember , subjective opinion usually means personal opinion. A lot of the time , when it is very " personal" , it can become bias or even discriminating. When any institution or company uses a very subjective view in making decision, they are inviting possibilty of bias and even discrimination. .
