Abstract: Holistic review considers applicants within the context of their lived experiences. But it fundamentally relies on contextual materials like recommendation letters that differ in quality. In this literature review, the authors highlight promising practices and policies for better leveraging letters to promote equity in the undergraduate admissions context, specifically for traditional, high school-aged applicants.
