Re: 2015-2016 Admissions Spreadsheets
Sorry to be annoying and make it get updated, but if possible, can we get a URM column going in all of the spreadsheets? option is only listed for a couple.

I'm pretty sure the only 2 missing it were Columbia and GULC.
Thank you!!

I know TLS posters tend to be more competitive than the rest ... but the 'softs' categories should be reworked if ~50% of the people are "above average" and ~50% are "average"

No it shouldn't, people should just stop lying about their softs.kepfd24 wrote:I know TLS posters tend to be more competitive than the rest ... but the 'softs' categories should be reworked if ~50% of the people are "above average" and ~50% are "average"
Either way, that's easily the least important part of the sheets.

Even if I were willing to rework it (spoiler alert: I'm probably not) what would you propose? There's never going to be an objective measure of softs so even if I make the choices more granular, people are still going to overestimate their softs.

Re: 2015-2016 Admissions Spreadsheets
Haha, the only person I saw who admitted having "weak" softs only did so after being admitted. For future years we should scrap that (if we get an olympic gold medalist or w/e they can note it in the details section) and replace it with an In-State option for the schools where that matters.

Something's funny with the mean admit GPA in Berkeley's spreadsheet (i.e. it includes blank GPA cells in the calculation)

Re: 2015-2016 Admissions Spreadsheets
I see what you're talking about. I can experiment a bit with it later, but there may not be a good solution for that. On other spreadsheets the effect is minimal but with Berkeley it skews it a bit more because there are fewer applicants.scone wrote:Something's funny with the mean admit GPA in Berkeley's spreadsheet (i.e. it includes blank GPA cells in the calculation)

Happy to update with new medians if you can give them to me.schocolate wrote:Hi, sorry to be a hassle, but would it be possible to update the Stanford sheet with the new medians? Thanks!
I stopped following the new median stuff and I'm pretty slammed at work today so I can't track them down myself. (He said while typing on TLS)

I know decisions have started rolling out so maybe someone typed something in incorrectly? Nothing jumped out at me when I looked though
