Recognizing that the playing field is not level and therefore no two students will have had access to the same opportunities allows admissions officers to measure a student’s candidacy against their own potential rather than against the achievements of other students who may have had significantly more access, opportunity, and funds available to them. Holistic reviews provide an opportunity to evaluate applicants based on their personal achievements and demonstrated potential, rather than relying solely on standardized metrics that may disproportionately favor certain groups. Instead of seeking to find a perfectly equitable metric for evaluating a student's candidacy, admissions committees must recognize the shortcomings inherent in each component of the application and regard the application as a whole rather than privileging its parts.
The key to holistic admissions is not in the unrealistic expectation that admissions officers will be able to truly evaluate every aspect of a student’s background, but instead that they will see the student as the sum total of their submitted materials rather than simply a data point. As Jeffrey Selingo noted in The New York Times: “Since nearly all these selective colleges promise that applicants will get a holistic review, not one based only on grades or a test score (if submitted), their admissions staffs are under pressure to wade through a rising pile of applications - with their essays, recommendations and laundry lists of activities - in the same amount of time as before.” Many top schools already claim to implement such a review process-Harvard, for instance, promises “a wide-ranging review of every aspect of each applicant’s background and experience.” However, many justifiably question whether a school whose application pool tops 60,000 could conduct such a personalized review for each one.
