One Admissions officer of a very popular well know state flagship said she could read an app in under 15 minutes–that they took the thousands of apps–and sorted by scores.

I’ll presume that said admin officer is very diligent, and reads for six hours a day, 5 days a week, for the 3 months of the year that apps are flowing into the college.

She covers 1560 apps in a season. Do these people have annual situational depression when the warehouse fills up with packets ? To my mind the only answer is that the lion’s share of apps are decided electronically.
