My god. I feel like this whole process is becoming a scam. I applied to six schools, and it cost me about $1,000 with app fees, transcript request fees, GRE registration & reports, and now fkking Interfolio. Granted, I'm probably just bitter cause I'm not gonna get in anywhere...I think it's getting ridiculous. Or has been ridiculous all along and I've just never noticed.

Yeah, that's the most annoying, when people say..."You're being so negative. Why did you apply if you don't think you'll get in?" It's like, I've done the math, I know my chances are slim, I still gave it my best shot. There's a huge difference between being negative and realistic. BTW, the only way to cope with the maddening frustration of waiting for your acceptances (rejections) is to focus on an exciting (or at least not altogether depressing) Plan B. -Flashman

I'm really pissed about having to register for Interfolio, and I want to see if anyone else out there is, too. Let me explain: University Application fee: $60 Interfolio One-Year Membership: $19 Cost to have Interfolio Send Application to school: $10 - $20 Anyone see a problem with this? In addition to the GRE Registration & Score reports, Transcript Fees, Application Fees, and every other cockammamy fee imaginable...now I have to endure Interfolio taking a chunk out of my *ss? This is not right. I seriously hope more schools do not adopt this service. Sounds like another way to gouge people who have no other recourse than to follow the procedure. Thoughts? Complaints? Arguments?
