haha...great thread
Here's my share
1. Michigan State University
The dumbest application page, if you a type of applicant who just wants to keep clicking next, then you'd miss their applicant ID in the first page which is required for next visit to the page. And they won't send you that applicant ID to your email. You can't check if your documents safely arrive.
2. Vanderbilt University
Never update, I have sent my LoR and GRE several months ago and enquired. no reply, no update (It's the feature of free application?)
3. Stanford University
Diversity statement 700 characters? I first thought 700 words, so I composed long list of my life and then bump!... so what are we supposed to write 700 characters for diversity? I am an ordinary student coming from bread winning family. With incessant aspiration, I managed to finish my undergrad. Despite 4 years struggle in different cultural environment, I'm still keen on going further, which is the main reason why I would contribute to Stanford diversity. yikes...
4. Cornell University
Even after you submitted the application, you can't check whether your mailed transcripts arrive.
that's for now
