Whats most important in the admissions decision?
Grades and test scores provide a tangible record of your academic accomplishments. Essays and recommendations broaden our knowledge and understanding of the “academic” you. Your record of participation in school, community and work experiences adds information concerning your interests and accomplishments outside of the classroom, and assists us in evaluating important personal qualities such as motivation, compassion and leadership. If we had to select one factor as being more important than any other, it would probably be your overall academic record as viewed in the context of the strength of your program.
