For an increasing number of us SDN DO'ers, the 2010-2011 application season is coming to a close. I thought it would be fun for us to take this opportunity to air some grievances regarding the application process at specific schools. This can be a pretty frustrating process, so I hope people here have some good stuff to contribute.
I'll start:
NOVA, NYCOM, OU-COM, and UMDNJ: thanks a lot for never getting back to me regarding my application! It really was a lot of fun filling out your application and paying your fees, but call me crazy- I was sorta expecting to get a little communication in return. You couldn't bother to even shoot out an email to let me know I've been rejected? It's been six months! Especially you, UMDNJ, who thought it was necessary to charge a $90 secondary fee, and then the last word I hear is about you cashing my check. Thumbs down.
NYCOM , your admissions staff was rude. When I called to request information about my application, the lady on the phone was mean and nasty. I was asked if my parents were "poor," because that might help me get in. When I answered to the negative, it was suggested that I apply to Caribbean MD schools. Piss on you.
Anyone got any others?
