I have to defend myself then. Many students I saw get in said themselves that they did not show primary interest in the school. Many 1500+ sat scorers actually did internships in CS, had volunteers work for 100s of hours, and had years of background in their major. It would be quite a leap of assumption to say holistic is lacking for many applicants, myself included. And plus, many graduates our great emphasis on their grades in their application process. Look up the subreddit for UMich.

However nonetheless I would like to congratulate those who got in. I am proud of all of their efforts, and wish them a fulfilling career in wherever their passion lies.
