Essentially, holistic admissions means that the colleges are looking at you (the applicant) as a whole person rather than just looking at your grades and test scores and making a decision. There are a lot of factors that can be considered as a part of a holistic admission review and they will vary on the level of importance and weight that they are given depending on the college and their priorities.
On this page of the WKHS Counselor website we highlight some of the various aspects that colleges may take into account as a part of their holistic admissions review. But the one thing I want to remind you about admissions is that this is NOT a reflection on who YOU are as a person. If you are not accepted to a college, it simply means that they didn't have enough seats to allow you to join their incoming freshman class - it doesn't mean that there aren't other options out there which could be viable alternatives nor does it even mean you wouldn't have been successful at that school had they had enough room to admit you. So know that you have done your best and then try to relax and trust that you WILL find the college which is a good fit for you to attend in the future.
