<p>let’s add a clause…</p>
<p>regardless of GPA, that one should NOT apply to a college if your test score is less than…</p>
<p>a) … the 25 pct ile of the mid 50?</p>
<p>b) … the 50 pct ile of the mid 50?</p>
<p>c) … the 75 pct ile of the mid 50? </p>
<p>AND </p>
<p>the college acceptance rate is…</p>
<p>1) …under 30 pct?</p>
<p>2)… under 40 pct?</p>
<p>3)… under 50 pct?</p>
<p>AND</p>
<p>the total apps coming into admissions is…</p>
<p>1) …greater than X thousand?</p>
<p>(the latter clause is to control for crazy artifacts from too low of an applicant pool)</p>
<p>you can see that I am trying to discover any rules or order in the admissions process, especially in more selective colleges. </p>
<p>question: it was alluded to earlier in this thread, but to what extent do admissions people ‘score’ or quantify an app, assigning numbers or weight to each component of an app?</p>
<p>eg, is there a score for the HS (someone told me there is such a score)? what is it? is it standard across different colleges, or does each college ‘score’ or assess each HS differently?</p>
<p>Doncha think it would be easier to just make a $200MM donation to the college? say, the ‘DS’ building :)</p>
