The Prof's Point of View<br />

● Every member of the admissi<strong>on</strong>s committee is given a huge stack<br />

of folders to read. (Dozens to hundreds)<br />

● Goal is to find the very few folders that stand out, and should be<br />

looked at more carefully.<br />

● This number will be quite small<br />

● These folders are then pushed to the next level<br />

● Usually a committee meeting<br />

● ALL folders must pass quality check in the final committee<br />

meeting.<br />
