Has anyone else found infosource to be the most useless piece of crap ever. 👎

Most schools do not participate and some of the schools that do participate 1/2 don't actually use it. The schools that do use it don't update for months and the schools that regularly update do not post any new info.

And finally any information that has been posted was already known two weeks earlier.

So to whom it may concern, stuff "Infosource" back where you found it!!! 😡

At one of my interviews, a member of the admissions staff told us to ignore Infosource.

lol I'm trying to figure out if it's a good or bad thing that I have no idea what infosource is.

It pretty much sucks becuase its not used widely and frequently enough. It could be good if it was correctly done. 🙄

well, if it were not for INFOSOURCE, I would be going to my UPitt interview on Dec. 13, but actually I saw it posted, called and scheduled it for Nov. 8...tomorrow!
wish me luck.

Yes, for example. Why don't the "Schools" accept an Official copy of your DAT and Transcripts from the AADSAS? Why do they make you PAY even more money to get their hands on a piece of paper that could be easily verified by the AADSAS and sent to them as official. That is BS if you ask me. All schools require their own DAT scores (OFFICIAL copies $10 each= 130 for 13 schools the second time around.) and if you went to 4 colleges like I did that equals of $20 for official transcripts to every school that won't accept the AADSAS ones. I have literally spent over $1500 for all the application, transcript fees, and secondary fees. (And that burns too 😡 , pay an additional fee to the school to tell them about them same information asked by the AADSAS and send the school between $35 and $75.)

And..... we haven't even started talking interviews....... 🙁

I completely agree. Infosource is supposed to keep students updated about their application status. 👎 You're better off just calling the schools...they don't update Infosource until about 3 weeks later, so whats the point! I have been very disappointed with AADSAS and Infosource....two things which should have HELPED make the application process easier. 🙄
