<p>Asuming 30K Application. Here’s what must happen.</p>
<p>1) By computer - 10K applications are flaged to have insuficient grades or GPA. To satisfy the holistic thing, a human being will review the essay and EC’s and search for some sign of superpower or Olympic status.</p>
<p>2)Another 10K applications are cut because of of insufficent courseload or one too many SAT’s. If they really didn’t care, they wouldn’t ask for all the tests. If you’ve made it this far and have flaws, maybe a holistic hand might save you and maybe only qualifying for the olympic trials will do.</p>
<p>3)Another 5000 applications are cut mainly because of being the same international type of candidate. Sorry India & China.</p>
<p>4) So that leaves 5000 applications. Admissions will more than likely spend the bulk of time on these applications trying to find a diverse pool. It’s here where they will fully consider EC’s and the applicants region and possibly race. By step 4. everyone has a great GPA and SAT or Olympic like status.</p>
<p>5) 1500-2000 are sent acceptance letters.</p>
