<p>I agree they are agressively seeking females and minorities. Last year my Mid’s girlfriend did the prelim. application and received a candidates number. She never followed up with the actual application since she lost interest. Unbelievably, my Mids BGO contacted her at the direction of the admissions board to encourage her to finish the application, and this was the LAST week of January 2008 and she had done NOTHING nor shown any interest. I liked to have fainted, since undoubtedly if she had gone forward she would have in all likelyhood took my Mid’s spot.</p>
