<p>i was just thinking is it like a committee of ten who reads your essays and everything.
and then if 4/10 of them or some ratio says your good to go then you get admitted.
does anyone know how it works?</p>
<p>a good question I would like to know also!</p>
<p>I think two people read an application independently, and then assign a score (not exactly sure if it's quantitative or qualitative). And, if the score differs by a given margin, it is reviewed by a senior admissions staff member whose decision supersedes the prevailing.</p>
<p>This is what I gathered from the UCB admissions process report they issued a while back for freshman admissions. I am not entirely sure if this is how it is done for transfer admissions, or other campuses for that matter.</p>
<p>I'm just wondering if they ever feel bad that their going to finalize a students academic future by either accepting or denying them.</p>
<p>I only say this because I'm just really worried.</p>
<p>If they employ a dialectic process in their decisions they have no reason to 'feel bad.'</p>
<p>ya not dialysis lol jk. This same kinda question is on a different thread called Admissions Process or something. Ya and I believe Ektaylor is right since it states it in the Hoyt Report that he found.</p>
<p>Haha, freud. I was going to respond, but I read it before I had my coffee this morning. And now I am studying for Finals.</p>
<p>this is a vid of UCB from years back, but their admission process could be different now: frontline:</a> secrets of the sat: inside an admissions screening session</p>
<p>i wonder how its like since most of us applied online.
as for haas they decide on their own, probably have a whole new ritual
hope someone here has some forbidden knowledge on it lolol</p>
<p>alansda- nice clip!</p>
<p>for my own sake i hope they are generic. cold hard facts please! and then I guess I won't take it personally if I am rejected either. bc I tried my best. :) eww, this makes me feel nauseous.</p>
<p>When I went on a Berkeley TAP trip the Berkeley representatives said that two people will review the application and if they do not agree that the applicant should be accepted or rejected it is given to a superior who then makes the final decisions on the acceptance of the applicant.</p>
<p>eeek. Wow, just two people. lol reminds me of how the AP exams are scored although i think my teacher back in high school said 3. -_-</p>
