What are colleges that prefer an applicant “fit” their major over their grades and score?
I know Cornell does this, but others?
Selective colleges, including Cornell, will want both.
Specialty schools or divisions (e.g. for art and music, where portfolio or audition is a big factor).
Athletic recruiting.
However, there typically is a minimum standard of grades and/or test scores even in these cases.
I know MIT places an above average emphasis on fit, although they will also obviously be looking for amazing numbers.
