Weighted Index Score vs. "holistic approach" Forum

[MrBlueSky!]

T-14 and especially t-6 like to tout a "holistic approach" to reviewing applicants.

Given how many applicants apply to each school, do schools, especially t-6/t-14 schools, utilize an index-score cut off to determine which applications they will even print out and review?

Hope this question makes sense.

Thanks

All schools claim to review every application, I think.

YSH and Berkeley are the only schools that are actually anything approaching holistic. All the other schools in the T14 care at the margins, but that's about it.

LSAT and GPA make up probably 95% of your applications at any school outside of New Haven. It's just a math thing.
