Wesleyan is an Open Hillel campus.
@Endora I called Brown admissions a couple days ago to ask about their ACT policy and they said that they only consider the highest sub scores for admission. So in a way, they do superscore.
@endora- DS had a 2250 SAT (old) and a 4.7 WGPA- was weight listed and then turned down at both Emory and UNC-CH.
@Endora
If your D is hesitant about Richmond for lack of a Jewish population, UNC would also fall into that category.
Wash U, seems like it would be a great fit for your D, but of course very competitive to get into
My understanding (I’m not Jewish) is that an Open Hillel functions as a center for Jewish student life in the same or similar ways as a regular Hillel, but isn’t sanctioned by the national organization. The main disagreement seems to be over who can and cannot be invited as a speaker; the national apparently has stricter rules than some liberal campuses are comfortable with.
@Endora
To understand Brown’s policy, I’ll give you a situation. You send 2 ACTs to Brown:
33E 34M 31R 31S
31E 31M 33R 34S
In this situation, the only scores that Brown will use for admission are 33E 34M 33R 34S since they are the highest sub scores out of all given test dates. Brown only considers the four highest sub sections from across all test dates, and emphasizes the English and math section. However, one section’s low score cannot be swapped for another section’s higher score.
My understanding is that they will look at the highest subscores but do not recalculate the composite score. That stands and is considered as well.
@Endora Unless she has already applied to UMD it is too late for merit, that deadline was Nov. 1.
unhooked?
@Endora correct. The sub scores will be looked at individually. However, Brown weighs the math and English section much more than the reading and science sections. A high math score but low science score looks better than a low math score but high science score.
