To: Associate Dean of Admissions and the\u00a0Admissions Committee
\nFrom: Dean\u00a0of Admissions<\/p>\n
By the end of today’s meeting, the Admissions Committee must agree on the evaluation categories\u00a0that will guide our\u00a0decisions about what\u00a0qualities we value in creating the next entering class. Each of the working teams\u00a0will have up to 2 minutes to present their proposals, and the Associate Dean will moderate a discussion to arrive at a group decision. If a final decision is not made in time, then the Associate Dean will designate 2 staff to work up a proposal for the entire Committee to discuss on Sunday at 7:15pm at the Lockwood Nest Dinner.<\/p>\n
In either case, each Admissions Committee member will be assigned to deliver a 1-minute oral “storytelling” of an applicant at our meeting on Monday, and your personal recommendation on whether or not we should admit.
