College Permission System

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced article. A quick reference search found no sources. Possibly a hoax. I worked on College admissions in the United States and follow the topic extensively, and this "article" here in Wikipedia is the first I've learned about a prior permissions letter, required before applying to any colleges, including elite ones. Pre-approval letters seem counter-intuitive to me; my sense is that almost all colleges wish to have the highest number of applications possible (to further their prestige, ranking in USNews etc), and a requirement that a permission to apply letter was needed, would clearly lower the number of applications. Without reliable sources, this article should be deleted, possibly speedily so. Further, the College Permission System article suggests that Yale University adopted the system in 2002; a search of Yale's admissions website reveals no mention of such a requirement.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:50, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't see a speedy delete reason, as I don't see a blatent hoax, even though unsourced and almost certainly untrue.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 17:09, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
