<p>So … I’m at a loss at how that is feasibly possible. </p>
<p>To set an example for discussion purposes, two applicants respond to the supplemental essay “Why Carleton?” </p>
<p>Candidate A writes: No idea. My mom is making me apply otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this. </p>
<p>Candidate B writes: From sitting in X,Y and Z classes at Carleton, I was thrilled by the level of discussion and the involvement of both students and professors alike. I think that Carleton’s trimester approach separates their program from other schools. Having fewer subjects but with more intensive study of each is my preference. </p>
<p>So, is Carleton saying that, in practice, it completely ignores both candidate’s responses as they share information on the student’s level of interest?</p>
