<p>I don’t think you are understanding the difference between the require and request because-in this case-they are not the same. Everyone of the colleges who participate, require an iDoc from the students who get accepted. And it is required of “every applicant” however, even if you fill the iDoc out, the colleges who require it, won’t get it unless they request it. And you typically only fill it out if you are informed/invited to do so. That’s why some kids applying to these colleges never fill an iDoc out at all, and even more fill it out for the college board and don’t have them requested by all of the schools that require it even though they applied to said school.</p>
