<p>Someone posted in another thread the whole point system that admission officers assign to different merits and achievements on one's application.</p>
<p>PLEASE REPOST!!!</p>
<p>Some of the UC's use a point system. You mean like this? ( toward the bottom)</p>

<p>Something like it, but I remember reading a thread where the point system was explicit. I can't find it anymore, but it was something like this for example:</p>
<p>GPA 4.0 +5
3.5 +3</p>
<p>Caucasion +2
Asian -2</p>
<p>those I remember specifically.
If you happen to see this post somewhere please repost here.</p>
<p>It was just something someone made up for you to grade yourself in terms of achievement. It's not really going to help you too much</p>
<p>I know, but I think it is a decent measuring stick. Anyway, thank you very much for finding it for me.</p>
<p>I think Umich used to use that......asians -2 &*%^ ...... I have always hated that....</p>
