<p>I know that the rep from Yale told us that he works from 2 monitors: one has the applicant's info, and the other is where he records his notes</p>
<p>I think the Duke rep said that they are moving towards computerizing the process, but aren't there yet.</p>
<p>I think another similar school said the process is 100% done via computer.</p>
<p>Any info about how other schools are handling this?</p>
<p>If the schools are downloading the Common App info into their individual databases, then I wonder whether or not they scan any supplemental info that they receive, so the entire applicant's file is in a tidy digitized format....</p>
<p>If so, I think it's probably easier on them if we send pdf's of any supplemental info (rather than hardcopy). Otherwise, they have to scan everything, right?</p>
<p>Should I be concerned about easing their workload?</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>When we're done and ready, my daughter will probably shoot emails to the reps, asking their preference. But I figured I'd throw it out here to see what y'all think.</p>
<p>100%? So the papers go into a machine and comes out of either ACCEPTED or REJECTED box? LMAO. Whatever the case is, I doubt there's any college that relies 100% on computers for their admissions process..</p>
<p>It wouldn't seem to make sense to have a 100% paper free process. It would give the admissions offices more work to do if they had to scan in all of the supplements and such. There are some works sent in that can't even be digitized without extensive labor. Most schools prefer online applications, but many specify that supplements must be sent in. I'm sure this is to avoid technical issues with attachments and formats such.</p>
<p>Most colleges (the ones I am aware of, anyway) have a large amount of people scanning and recording the documents they receive before it goes anywhere near the adcoms. Some colleges don't do it in that way, however, but I wouldn't be concerned with easing anyone's load.</p>
