The rationale for including non-academic factors in a hybrid model is to utilize a more inclusive developmental approach in the admission decision process. Non-academic factors are included in the college admission decision process to enhance each student’s educational experience through the process, to recognize attributes employers and industries value in the process, and to acknowledge qualities which are valued by and consistent with the mission of the Broad College.
