Not really arguing about anything at all. The question was whether schools sent rejections pre-secondary, and my response was simply that schools like the money, and generally don't reject people pre-secondary. What you say about pittances is very true, but whether it's $300,000 (NOT $30,000!!!!! -- check your math) at a public school or $1,000,000 at a private school, it's not nothing, and schools clearly are not giving it up, since they can, but choose not to, screen out more people that they are never going to invite in for an interview pre-secondary.
