Ugh, "their."

Spoken like a Hoya tool.

U-Chicago's was always more weird and a PIA.

These were common barriers that people who really wanted these schools would scale to show their interest. It was a way of separating the wheat from the chaff.

Chicago is still a PIA. The Georgetown app was basically the same as the Common App, just extra administrative work.

Nah. The website was wonky and the activity section was very small. It was not like common app activity section

It seems a little surprising they would do that absent a president (they have an acting one now). Maybe it's rumor. It feels like it will change the make up of the student body to me.
