With so many variables among applicants this year, I’m curious what you all think will change for admissions. How will admissions officers evaluate applicants without the usual common denominators like test scores and standard GPAs (I.e. some schools went p/f in spring) and continued ECs? How will an applicant without a test score be compared to one with a score? Will the essays take on a different role? Will the high school profile matter differently?
I read an article last month that quoted the Dean (?) of Admission at Tulane saying, basically, they had no idea how this was going to go and would be figuring it out as they went along. I appreciated that transparency. But of course I, and I’m sure others, are wondering how that figuring out is going.
Curious what you all think. What you’ve surmised from what you’ve read/heard.
