How much are senior year classes factored into admissions?

An interesting distinction I noticed:

Admission itself is quite systematic and stat-based. However, any further admission (think Honors, Scholars) is much less predictable, and quite holistic. I had zero credits and went to a public school in Europe which would have been completely unrecognized by NEU, and yet they were open enough to my “interesting” background that they offered me a place in the Scholars Program. Since coming here, I have met many students with much better stats than I had who are not Scholars; as I said, NOT predictable whatsoever.
