<p>“vossron, what LAC is this? I know that LACs do take a more holistic approach to admissions than large publics (where sheer volume of applicants forces them to use numbers for an initial cutoff), but combining all the numbers for only 20% of the decision? I can see stats being 50% the decision-making process, but are you sure about 20%?”</p>

<p>When I said “I suspect this is typical” I meant at LACs. Maybe I should mean at holistic LACs. Maybe it’s not typical, and I only hope it is! :)</p>
