It's a Factoid . . .
In the College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges, colleges indicate which admissions criteria are most important. In the latest figures, criteria rated "very important or important" by 1,841 four-year colleges were:
School achievement 93%
Test scores 87%
Recommendations 49%
Essay 42%
Interview 34%
Activities 30%
School achievement has been the single most important factor in admissions decisions since the College Board began tracking this information in the early 1980s.
