no, Pitt shouldn't be nominated for slowest secondary. It should be nominated for school most likely to drag us around in the dirt for months before deciding what to do with us.
 
By the way, when does Vandy start sending out their next round of rejection letters (they do send them in batches, or is this just rumor)-- can't wait to get mine.

some of these categories are very subjective, like slowest secondary, that depends on your stats and state of residence. also friendlest staff is just based on your own experience.....

I heard it went something like:

The Committee for Admissions has reviewed your application materials to Vanderbilt School of Medicine. Based on a review of your credentials, the Committee has determined that you will not be offered admission into the 2006 First Year Class.

This decision indicates the highly competitive nature of admissions to Vanderbilt and does not reflect upon your qualifications to study medicine successfully.

We appreciate your interest in Vanderbilt and hope that your career aims are ultimately achieved.

Hmm.. it doesn't sound as harsh when you type it in.. but when you see it in their font, it only takes up like two lines... it is just SUPER short.

They should be under "most ******ed use of technology". I called to see why they had not received my letters 2 months after everyone else did and was told that this year they are scanning in each applicants letters to go with their application so "it may take a long time". What the hell is the point of that? Sure do hope to hear from you case ... in fricking June.

I guess they can't afford a high quality scanner with an auto-document feeder. They could process several applications a minute with the right setup and only one person.

Wahahaha, we should! Imagine that...after this round of applications, each school admission's dean mysteriously receives a tee-shirt or a mousepad with a card that says:

I would get suuuch a kick out of that :laugh:
