Proponents of the Application Central website (ApCenWeb) claim that a single, standardized application valid for all graduate programs in the state will streamline the selection process by collecting student information into a single database. The proposed changes should not be made, however, because ApCenWeb is not yet flexible enough for students to present their strongest credentials to the varied programs specific to each university. A standardized application will, in fact, penalize students by making them unable to present their unique aptitudes for fields as divergent as engineering and visual arts.

Which of the following statements, if true, will most strengthen the argument against a standardized graduate school application?

The ApCenWeb interface is simple and straightforward, assuring that students interested in all programs will access the application easily.

Engineering and visual arts, though different from each other, are both popular graduate programs.

The board of directors of one of the largest state universities has expressed reluctance to join the Application Central organization.

ApCenWeb offers no option to submit additional materials, such as painting or photography samples for students applying to visual arts programs.

The ApCenWeb software is still being developed, and programmers are concentrating especially on solving problems with uploading documents.
