Opinions on the Common Application

<p>Common app or die DS did fine last year in 2009. In the great scheme of things, these kids probably do have their priorities on straight.</p>

<p>Curmudgeon, I love the "data" you gleaned from your phone calls. They just scan the darn stuff into some processing station. This info needs to spread itself far and wide here on cc. Will save a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth re fonts/layout/paperstock and what ever else. Even in the slightly older world of The Gatekeepers, I recall that the adcoms met in a room with little index cards or somesuch where they'd distilled the key descriptors of each kid. In the end, it's all about the Content, not the Form, and isn't that the way we'd want it?</p>
