<p>sevmon, the last post was less than ten months ago.
That’s hardly “old.”
There are people who resurrect threads from two or three years ago.
If you prefer, I could start a new thread.
Would it make any difference?</p>
<p>The article you cite (which I’ve seen before) doesn’t contain anything that contradicts the disparity in regional statistics.</p>
<p>And, yes, the so-called holistic approach is always the out - scores are only a part. However, that really also doesn’t explain away the practice. To do so, one would have to accept that the more rural and remote areas of the state are “better” “holistically” than the more urban areas of a state. I don’t think a college wants to try and hang its hat on that.</p>
