admission interview CR

by kushal.adhia » Thu Oct 21, 2010 10:00 am
The interview is an essential part of the graduate school admissions process because, with it, students who have personalities that are unsuited to the area of study and course requirements will be eliminated from consideration.

The argument above logically depends on which of the following assumptions?

A. An admissions program will admit the best applicants if it includes interviews.

B. The interview is a more significant part of a successful admissions program than is the development of the course of study.

C. Admissions officers can accurately identify applicants whose personalities are not suited to the area of study.

D. The only purpose of an interview is to evaluate whether graduate school candidates' personalities are suited to the
area of study.

E. The fit of graduate school applicants' personalities to the course requirements was once the most important factor for making admissions decisions.


Some help with this please??

is the answer C?
interview is needed to evaluate whether candidate can get in the school
premise: students who are unfit wont get in the school

who will decide if the student are fit or unsuitable? its the interviewer...thus C...

hmhm this question is like the one in OG review but its not about students applying to school, its about candidates for a certan job....

iam not very good at CR but i think A is not good because
first of all, it goes so far, its so extreme when it says the school will let all student with best conditions get in the school if there's an interview... all here we care is whether the condition and the students are suitable or unsuitable...
for example: you are applying for a job in a company. you have PHD and perfect experience but the job wants an employee who is patient and have good health/ immune with heart problem but you arnt patient or you always get nervous... when you are interviewed for the job, the interviewer caught you that you got all the problems the job doesn't want. thus you are not fit, you are out!
( the best conditions for school are needed and good but they are not enough)

If you negate the assumption option C, the whole logic will fall apart extremely.
Thus, chose C

C. Admissions officers can NOT accurately identify applicants whose personalities are not suited to the area of study.
