How does the top 6 sorting work? Does admissions put it through a computer or sort it themselves?
———————————————
hey there,
well, there’s a whole lot of data that the university has to crunch every year, so they’re certainly not just going through everybody’s marks with a pencil and a magnifying glass.
the university uses multiple algorithms to determine eligibility based on a whole bunch of criteria (like, whether your final marks are in or just midterm marks, what those marks are, etc. etc. etc.)
however, human eyes do pass over the data to make sure that no one is refused who is eligible for admission. so don’t worry – a mistake on a computer is not about to ruin your life.
cheers,
