- Intended meanings of scores:
- 4: Definite admit
- 3: Admissible
- 2: Possibly admissible (unlikely to be admitted – probably shouldn't be read by sector)
- 1: Probable reject (not worth sending to sector)
- 0: Definite reject (consider summary rejection by GAC chair)
(This The parenthetical interpretation of the scores above is at the GAC level only. The scores at the sector level are purely for ranking candidates, and don't have a specific interpretation.)
- As of 2011, we no longer fast-track students.
- Send to sector criterion:
- A folder will be sent to the sectors for additional reviews if it receives no more than one score of 2 or lower.
- Under-represented groups will be sent to the sector for additional reviews if it receives two scores of 2 or higher. If a woman or URM gets a 3+ as their first review, they will immediately be sent for faculty review.
- A tiebreaker application will only be sent to the 2nd round with a 3 or better as the tie review
- Reject criterion:
- GAC will usually not ask sector for review if it receives 2 or more scores of 2 or lower.
- "0 & 1" policing will be done by GAC chair to facilitate expediting poor applications. Chair Note: via Action pulldown, unassign reader via "Remove assignment" and mark as "Probable Reject" via "Add tag"
