| So now that the application process is over for most (some, a few, just me and you?) of us, and out of our hands, I thought it would be a good idea to know, well, whose hands they're in.
Share what you know about adcoms, because when I started thinking about it, I know nothing at all! Obviously, varies by school/program but in general I was wondering:
1. Who makes up the admissions committee? Is it voluntary, are they assigned, etc.?
2. How many members must agree to admit an applicant? (e.g., unanimously, only one person, etc.)
3. Anything else relevant!
I know there are some "insiders" here, so here;s hoping they will enlighten us (me!). |
