RTTT applications

Rick Hess has read through them so you don't have to.

• The Department of Education suggested that no application include a narrative portion of more than 100 pages or more than 250 pages in appendices. Taking the college sophomore's maxim that no one ever got in trouble for going long by ardently stuffing in filler, every state exceeded those guidelines. Taking this collegiate maxim to heart, little New Mexico's application weighed in at 890 total pages, which was just a hair shorter than New York's (908 total pages).
