College Web applications rise

This article on the increase in college applications on the Web quotes a Wayne State student and also Wayne State\'s director of admissions. \"I personally prefer to see everything I\'m writing,\" said Tamaria Dewdney of Southfield, a freshman at Wayne State University who applied to two schools online last year. \"Sometimes when you fill things out online, things are erased, and I just like to see what I\'m working on. But it was very convenient to fill things out online.\" The article did indicate that dispute the ease of applying to school on line for prospective, the time for processing those applications was no different for the universities than it was for processing paper applications. Wayne offices had 13 part-time people on staff last year to work on nothing but online applications and make sure they went into a computer system correctly and were not duplicates. \"It was a pain,\" said Susan Zwieg, Wayne\'s director of undergraduate admissions.
