<p>pswilla - I don’t even understand how your post makes any sense. It isn’t of interest to you to have the correct information, rather than pure speculation? After all, iamsirjoshua was just SURE that other schools did what American does. I have demonstrated with a high degree of probability that it is, in fact, not the norm. Now you may not care if American does this or not. Personally I think their policy is wrong, I know an AU admissions person is reading this, and I hope that given all the facts and arguments they will change it. Won’t change my life, sometimes it is worth doing something just because you think it is the right thing. If I didn’t think others should be aware of the facts, I could have PM’d KBJ instead. But that shuts out other opinions, and the chance that someone aware of practices at other schools can add to the discussion and correct me if I am wrong on the facts.</p>
<p>You don’t have to care about this topic at all. That is what your mouse button is for, to move on rather than make fairly useless comments.</p>
<p>BTW, you act like only students should be using this site, and parents are intruders. Parents that are about to spend huge $$ are reading this too, and this situation might be of considerable interest to them. If you want a students-only site, create it. You might make money.</p>
