At least one application did not load #185

I learned by accident of an application from a student that did not get loaded. I think this is a problem with the importer? The only thing I can see is that the "ta_experience field contains non-ascii characters.

I'll share the data with @michellemtchai so you can try to figure out why it failed. I suspect this is another case where we need clear error messages instead of silent failure.

There was no error message. I found out because it was a case where the applicants were also supposed to contact the instructor, so the instructor wanted to hire a person that I couldn't see in tapp. I looked at the JSON file I imported from CHASS and his application was there, so it didn't get imported.

I'm looking for other ones. Okay, this looks like a big problem. The app says there are 486 applicants, which squares with the number of "app_id" labels in the JSON, but I only see 403 applicants in the app (by cutting and pasting the unassigned list and the assigned list into a text editor and counting lines -- so it might be a bit error prone.)

Since the number of applicant in the summary view is correct, it might not be the importer. I

I'll close this for now, since I have can't reproduce.
