I'm really curious about how long these people take to read your application, and wonder if that plays a role in screwing a lot of deserving people over. For example, they seemed to appreciate/criticize really tiny details in my application, but overlook several EGREGIOUSLY bad undergraduate grades (Cs/Ds)? At a top-3 engineering school sevearl years ago, yes, but to make *no* mention or criticism of them at all in three reviews, for example? I mean what, did they glance at my file for 30 seconds ands skim the essays for the bold words?
