wait just a GD minute, i need to get on my soapbox about something!
these secondaries suck, we all know that. once you accept that fact, they're really not
that bad. but one thing is seriously pissing me off: the schools that do this mail-in certification form bullsh/t!!!
😡 😡 for both the ohio state and wright state secondaries, just before you click "submit", they have you pay the fee with a credit card ONLINE. how novel?!!! then you simply check a box that says something like "checking this box is the legal equivalent of a signature." BAM!! you're done!
schools like washu and yale, though, let you fill the app out online, but THEN make you print out some stupid form that you have to MAIL to them with a check (i hate checks). now if you don't mail priority, it will still get anywhere in the country in about 7-10 days, tops, so the waiting isn't too harsh on that front, but then you have to wait for their office to "process" (sound familiar?) your secondary app and cash the freakin' check. until your status page says "complete" this step just gives you extra, unnecessary sh/t to worry about (is it in? did the post office lose it? did the school lose it? what the hell?).
this process is not cool.
sorry everyone, but i needed that!!!!!
