I know GWU doesn't, but what else?
I will be taking vacation starting next week for a month so I wanna do as many secondaries as possible now
 
Do you not have the MSAR? Its a pretty long list. Maybe you could post list of schools you are looking at and we could tell you which of them don't screen.

Or you could probably find the information on their websites.

But maybe what you are looking for is schools that have a quick turnaround on getting you the secondary? I know I got a secondary from Cincinnati and USHUS like the day I submitted.

can anyone answer WHY schools dont screen. from an applicants prospective its very irritating. Is it really just way to collect an extra 100 dollars from each applicant? they have to review the primaries eventually, how hard would it be to do it before I waste 100 bucks and hours writing essays on a school that was going to reject me from the start?

The P.C. answer would be that they want to evaluate each applicant holistically, but really you've pretty much got it right. Some schools don't even send you a secondary and just ask for your money to evaluate your primary coughmayocough

The average school gets ~4500 applicants and has a secondary of ~$70. Thats $315,000 a year in potential straight cash income for the school, or another 6 or 7 students worth of tuition with no expenditure. They can always throw applications they don't want to read away...

Oh, and take it to an extreme... GWU gets 13000 applications every year and has a secondary fee of $125. Potentially, thats a million and a half dollars of income for them every year. I'm sure not everyone fills it out, but enough do to make it worth it.

I figured the application fees were used to cover operating costs like maintaining online applications, staffing the admissions office, buying donuts for the admissions committee, etc. I'm sure they make some money but I bet a lot of the income they make is used to cover these costs.

Please rank these in order of median girl cuteness. Thanks.
 
Important point which I didn't realize until I applied: just because you pass a school's "screen" doesn't mean they look at your application. For many, if not most schools, getting through the screen gives you nothing more than the privilege to pay them.
