<p>@pton18tiger Well I know MIT does it for sure. And if MIT does it, Princeton probably does it as well. This is an excerpt from a blog post on the MIT admissions blog written by an admissions officer.</p>
<p>“As I open each case, I also open what we call the “eFolder,” which is a PDF of everything in your case (your application, letters of recommendation, transcript, supplemental materials, and so on) in a separate window on the external display. I’ll then read the eFolder, taking notes as I go, and opening endless new tabs to research something unfamiliar if and as I encounter it in the case (a town I’ve never seen an applicant from, an extracurricular or award I’ve never heard of, etc).”</p>

<p>Also, it’s not that time-consuming to google someone. 1-2 minutes at most. </p>
