<p>So, after someone has been admitted to a certain college, do colleges keep they're application on file? Maybe things like essays and what not to look back on? (Or to compare to see if someone in the next year used your same essay) Is there like a database maybe where they store this information for every college? Or does the application and everything just get deleted/tossed?</p>
<p>I depends on the college.</p>
<p>Can you be more specific?</p>
<p>Some keep them, some dump them, some keep them if you ask them to (for later transfer purposes).</p>
<p>Do you know any colleges that do keep them?</p>
<p>Uhm, bump! I would really like a legitimate answer to this question.</p>
<p>See posts # 2 and 4. Those are correct.</p>
