Hello there!
I have a quick question: how large of a region do Regional Admissions officers have?
For example, let's take Harvard. It's my understanding that once your application is submitted, it goes to your regional admissions officer, who will either deny/waitlist/defer it, or send it to the admissions board to recommend acceptance, after taking into consideration of the interviewer's comments as well. This way the admissions board can carefully go over around 3000 of the filtered applications, rather than 45,000.
I live in the San Francisco bay area. For my regional admissions officer to pass along my application to the actual Harvard admissions board, would I be compared to other students in my city? state? entire west coast?
Thanks,
David
