I recently watched a video by a current ivy league student who said if the admissions officer sees a 3.5 they are gonna “toss away your application immediately”. Is this true? If yes, then why do colleges claim that their admissions decision is a “holistic process”, and do they exactly mean by this? Please help an anxious student out.
