U. Wisconsin Madison, specifically, is being dumb. I've been communicating with a professor there about working on his West Nile Virus bird project. He's affiliated with the department of Pathobiological Sciences and the Environmental Sciences department and is working on becoming affiliated with Zoology. Zoology would be the best program for me and he gave me the option to apply there, which I did, but they're all "Because he's not officially affiliated we're not going to consider your application."

If they decided I wasn't fit for the program after reviewing my application, that's one thing. But for them to not even LOOK at it, after I worked so hard on my essay and got people to write letters for me and jumped through all the hoops and coughed up the $56, that's just dumb.
