We don’t sit as an office and trade folders in and out of piles. Folders are put in random stacks of 30, then distributed to officers for a first read. 1st readers pass the folders to another officer for a 2nd read. If we’re unable to come to a decision, the folder goes “to committee”. All officers will read the file, discuss it and vote on it. There is never talk of trading one folder out for another. It’s not how we operate.
I’ve posted this info before. Search for “personal statement” in this forum.</p>
