[quote=Anonymous]I love the comment from Yale: Mark Dunn, senior associate director of undergraduate admissions at Yale, also said “no” to an interview but wrote in an email, “In my opinion, working with an IEC can ultimately work against an applicant.” He continued in part, “An application can also seem overly engineered in a way that makes us question what motivated a student to pursue the commitments they’ve included with their activities list, or simply why they are presenting themselves in a way that seems like what they think an admissions committee wants.” Why can't reporters be bothered to ask follow up questions? Yale is essentially saying this thing that the subject of the article doesn't work while the article says it does? How hard is it to ask Yale admissions to explain the discrepancy between their comment and the data presumably viewed by the author[/quote]
