LOL I just feel like it isn't impossible since all of the schools are literally asking for the same basic info, just in different formats. Students and applicants everywhere just need to band together and convince them this is stupid lol. Couldn't this master application be a work study thing for grad students in some technical field? I'm envisioning an expanded FAFSA of sorts. I can see it now.... one log in, one password, only typing info once, then just selecting all of the schools that I want it to go to, and hitting submit just once!
Take my latest irritation. I just spent a ridiculous amount of time filling in all of my undergrad and grad courses complete with title, dept name, dept number, institution, year, credits, grade, and credit hours into a school's specific form. Why? Probably because they're too lazy to read the transcripts they're making me send which say the exact same thing I just typed in their stupid form. And I'm going to have to do this a couple of more times for different schools of course. *sigh*
