[quote=Anonymous]And then there's the money angle. having a million people apply and pay a fifty dollar application fee is no small potatoes. We also found out when they lost our son's application to Emory that with these huge pools, the actual handling of the applications is farmed out to sub-contractors who scan things in and make the admissions folders -- usually in a warehouse somewhere using minimum wage employees hired through a temp service. In our case, one of these employees had mistyped our child's name in and his folder was lost as a result. I hate the idea that all kinds of sensitive information -- like a letter from a counselor about the death in your child's family and how it affected his schoolwork; or an essay about being a gay child growing up in the midwest -- is being handled by a bunch of random people with no training who probably aren't committed to safeguarding this information.[/quote]
