We’re in committee. For three more weeks, the twelve members of the Admissions committee will meet in an impossibly small conference room (pictured below) to discuss and debate the 7,350 applicants for the Class of 2015. Despite its small size, our “home” for the next several weeks is well equipped with all the things we need to do our work. Lap tops, projectors, and a document imaging camera are essential to our process, and the way in which we do our work. But the two most critical items without which committee members could not function: coffee and snacks. Experience has shown that a fully caffeinated, well fed committee is a productive committee. So far, we’re doing well. We’re actually running a little ahead of schedule. Maybe it’s the coffee.
