much fromthe REU experience if they only interact with people who are like themselves.In practice, we implement these ideas in our application review by employing a modified draft pickprocess. After each of the reviewers has assessed each application based on their assigned goal(access to research experiences vs. competitiveness for graduate studies), they take turns choosingstudents for the cohort. By sequentially building the cohort together, the cohort criteria are combinedwith the individual criteria. For example, suppose that Reviewer A selects a student in round 1 whois from school X. Reviewer B had two comparable students in mind for round 1 selection, one ofwhich was from school X and the other from school Y. Knowing Reviewer A’s
