Query: Rubric-based holistic review: a promising route to equitable graduate
  admissions in physics   As systematic inequities in higher education and society have been brought to
the forefront, graduate programs are interested in increasing the diversity of
their applicants and enrollees. Yet, structures in place to evaluate applicants
may not support such aims. One potential solution to support those aims is
rubric-based holistic review. Starting in 2018, our physics department
implemented a rubric-based holistic review process for all applicants to our
graduate program. The rubric assessed applicants on 18 metrics covering their
grades, test scores, research experiences, noncognitive competencies, and fit
with the program. We then compared faculty's ratings of applicants by admission
status, sex, and undergraduate program over a three-year period. We find that
the rubric scores show statistically significant differences between admitted
and non-admitted students as hoped and that statistically significant
differences based on sex or undergraduate program aligned with known
disparities in GRE scores and service work expectations. Our results then
suggest rubric-based holistic review as a possible route to making graduate
admissions in physics more equitable.
