holistic admissions processes

Holistic admissions processes consider the whole applicant, not just test scores or grades. They evaluate various factors such as academic achievement, extracurricular activities, personal background, leadership, character, and life experiences. The goal is to understand each applicant’s unique qualities, potential, and contributions to the campus community. This approach aims to create a diverse and dynamic student body by recognizing talents and circumstances beyond traditional metrics. It values depth and individuality, helping admissions officers make well-rounded decisions that go beyond numbers to identify students who will thrive and contribute meaningfully.
