Similar to the Stanford students requesting their admission records, here is an article about a few Princeton students who requested and were able to view their records (for one hour at least). Some interesting tidbits:
Lots of process steps revealed
“The admission process begins with a randomly selected first reader who summarizes everything he or she sees in the file, Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye explained. The file then passes on to a second reader, the regional admission officer, who takes a broader perspective of how the student appears in the context of his or her educational background”
“Based on interviews and a file review conducted by The Daily Princetonian, the first reader recommends an action for the second reader on a scale of four or five options, including “Unlikely,” “Only if Room,” “Strong Interest” and “High Priority.””
It appears they didn’t focus on a candidates race
““I didn’t really see them evaluate me in the context of me being Asian at all, so I’m still convinced that that happens, but I don’t know how,” he said.”
SAT scores aren’t even on the main summary
