Not sure why someone get rattled about merging threads. It would be a fantastic idea to merge people’s thoughts and nations without borders is a Utopian idea. But that is simply NOT possible. in the same way, please answer or refrain, instead of being an obstacle. Please ACT and DO NOT RE-ACT:-).
HRSmom: Thanks for the feedback. This is exactly the reason, I am scratching my head. Its not scores; its not GPA, its not essays, ethnicity, athletes, reservations, quotas, etc. etc. Then you wonder: WHAT IS IT?
HOW do these great schools select 2000 out of huge a pool (10K or 30K) applicants in ED or RD?
Truly appreciate all answers. What exactly is HOLISTIC?
