The process of application for admission to a school is a significant transaction. Communication over the Internet has great potential in streamlining this aspect of its operations. A prospective applicant fills in the form, which is then transmitted as electronic mail to the school.

While giving the Web site the appearance of being interactive, this feature is hardly real progress.
