These really make me support a cap of say 7-8 applications. Then kids/parents set realistic goals, admissions offices are not buried in applications and the “T25” can’t brag about rejecting 96 percent.
I read an article about a kid admitted to college in all 50 states. What a complete waste of time for so many … |

| At my kid’s school: senior this cycle accepted in regular decision to: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, CMU, Duke, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Rice, WashU, UMichigan, UVA, Notre Dame, Williams, Amherst, Pomona and one more that I cant’t remember. Thought it was fake, but my kid said they’ve heard around school that it’s real. |

Why should the cap be on the kids? How about having some kid of ranked match like medical residency, so kids only get into their highest preferred T20? |

Do students have to pay application fees per school anymore or just use common app and one fee? Or do many schools waive fees? If $100/school * 21=$2100? |

| Pretty much all the top kids at my DCs stem magnet apply to 15-20+ schools. Some don’t get into any but state flagship, others get into a few T20, and some lucky ones get into several ivies and ivy plus. The rare will get into HYPSM+ |
