"It's an objective system because I get to decide who gets what ranking and what criteria we are ranking these applicants on". That's what I got out of the system they have set up and how lead readers function. I realize that we're in a globalized and interconnected world, but why is there such an emphasis on "leadership"? It's not even something you can get a good sense of from reading an application. Secondly, not everybody needs to be a leader. It's the same thing with everybody having to be STEM major or being useless to society. Everybody needs a cook or a plumber just as bad as an Engineer. Same goes for a leader.
