Holistic Admissions Procedures
In June of 2003 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the University of Michigan's undergraduate admissions process, which awarded more points for minorities than for some academic factors, was unconstitutional. As a result of that Supreme Court decision, the University of Michigan, along with a number of other universities, has implemented a 'holistic' application process for its undergraduate students that takes into account many factors in addition to test scores. These factors may include a student's class rank, intellectual interests, record of leadership, awards, extracurricular activities, work experience, socio-economic status of the family and school attended, as well as other factors.
The Committee on Admissions has been asked to consider changing the current standard for freshman admission from one that is derived statistically from standardized test scores and achievement in high school courses to one that is derived holistically via a process that takes multiple factors into account.
