Ok, this is probably showing my ignorance at college admissions (namely, giant college admissions)...but...
What happened to good ol' fashioned applying for college, and then leaving it up to the admissions counselors to decide your fate?
Can you write an essay?
You play the oboe?
Started a non-profit to feed starving children in your hometown?
Great test scores?
Varsity letter all four years?
Student Leadership?
Great teacher references?
Regular ol' need-blind admissions.
Is it because there are just TOO many applicants, so the easy way out is to have some random statistical information that they go by, not as a guideline, but as a hard-and-fast line?
I'm guessing that must be the reason.
