<p>I understand that all colleges want well rounded students, but which colleges value the subjective part of the application more? For example, a school like MIT probably values success in relevant math/science courses and high math scores on sat/act more than a school like Brown where I feel there is more weight on the personal essays. So which schools value the subjective part of the application more?</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't include schools like Berklee or Tisch where a large portion of the application process is based on an audition.</li>
</ul>
<p>Schools with tons more applications than spots (i.e. low admit rate) quickly go to non metric evaluation factors. Caltech and a few others are exceptions. Most of your public state schools admit solely based on metrics.</p>
<p>The super-selectives tend to magnify the value of the “subjective” parts of the application, since they have so many applicants whose “objective” parts (presuming you mean high school courses, grades, rank, and test scores) are near the maximum possible.</p>
<p>But you need to have very high “objective” credentials even be in the game for your “subjective” stuff to matter at the super-selective schools.</p>
