<p>I have no proof but it just seems logical that many application cuts are done by computer, through pre programmed minimums. Now if you are cut, I do believe the school will perform a holistic review to determine if the application is worthy of a save. But if not, the application quickly goes to the permanent cut pile. This way schools can claim (probably a little shady) that no cuts are made by computer, but in reality the computer plays a prime role in cutting applications. Just my opinion.</p>
