I’ve been trying to find what makes admissions tick for the last two and a half years on CC, but no luck so far… even after being accepted.

Some factors give a bigger boost than others, but on the whole, admissions seems completely random… I’d swear that your application’s fate in front of the committee is determined more by the mood of the adcoms(they’re people too), time of the day(hopefully not being reviewed two minutes before lunch time), climate (god help you if its raining…) and the temperature inside the room.

Edit: to the above poster… that article seems to be good general advice. :)
