Why are other factors not considered (e.g. letters of recommendation, interviews, autobiographical sketches)?
The Admissions Committee has determined the current requirements to be the most feasible and effective criteria for making admissions decisions. The factors mentioned above are not considered because the committee would not be able to get an appropriate sense of an applicant’s qualifications, or perhaps do not have access to the resources needed for adding those particular components to the application.
