Ivy Adcoms Still Promoting--why??

<p>

Using your tactic, how do you know there are a few or how many the practice generates?

</p>

<p>I fully admit that I have no idea. But I’m guessing no one else on this thread has the number either. And since the data are not available, it’s hard to make any point whatsover point about “hyper competition”…</p>

<p>

Again, read the study and the comments by the director many pages ago what they (the admission people) think of many of their practices.

</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s a tough business, which is hard for ‘academics’ to accept. They like to believe that their DNA is above “bidness”. Regardless, adcoms continue their practices. Even our friend at Reed, while disparaging USNews, complies with their reporting requirements (for ranking purposes).</p>

<p>

I just wanted to see if those who object could draw the line.

</p>

<p>Sorry, I misinterpreted your post.</p>

<p>

don’t care if the school’s primary motivation is ratings or other business end.

</p>

<p>Me neither. And, btw, if HYP really wanted to increase their applications, all they would have to do is waive the app fees (ala Tulane). Voila, hundreds of thousands of apps.</p>
