<p>A new study released today:</p>
<p>[New</a> research on how elite colleges make admissions decisions | Inside Higher Ed](<a href=“http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/04/09/new-research-how-elite-colleges-make-admissions-decisions]New”>http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/04/09/new-research-how-elite-colleges-make-admissions-decisions)</p>
<p>Just read Rachel Toors ‘admissions confidential’</p>
<p>I read some reviews of the book on Amazon. It offers good insight from the point of view of an admissions staff member, but not a lot of data. Is there any source of data (besides SAT /GPA which is worthless because it does not correlate to admissions) that gives more insight into what is looked on favorably by the admissions committees at selective schools?</p>
