One on on interviews don't scale. I feel like it's the biggest problem in any admissions process; the best metrics are one's that don't scale, so you're forced to rely on less optimal ones.

It's not a problem of scale, it is a problem of fairness. I went to one of the two and I can tell you people lose their minds over everything being anonymous and fair even when it is as anonymous as it gets.

When human assessors are involved, it becomes more subjective. Imagine having your assessment with the instructor of your strongest subject vs your weakest subject.
