I wasn’t referring to any particular poster in my post.
I mentioned snow before. I think Stanford kids prefer palm trees and Harvard students like pines.
Seriously, the whole point of holistic admissions is to assemble a class that is sufficiently diverse in interests, talents and experiences to make for an interesting mix.
It had been distressing to administration that 40% at Harvard end up in finance and consulting but many exit out quickly too. Drew Faust tried to enhance arts on campus by giving more credit and opportunities to applied arts, in an effort to lure and support more diversity of focus for undergrads. Humanities and arts are still alive.
I would imagine Stanford has a similar issue with most going into tech/CS/STEM but I don’t know what compensatory measures have been taken to prop up Humanities and arts.
