[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first comparison colleges make between applicants is to compare those from the same school, So limiting apps protects kids with weaker stats from kids in the top 20% of the class from scooping up all the top 50 spots. So increasing the number of schools kids can apply to is tricky for kids outside the top 20%. It may give them more options overall but it may also increase the competition from their own more impressive classmates. [/quote] For this reason, I think the smarter approach would be to keep a limit on private colleges (which are more likely to engage in this kind of careful review), but go without a cap for state schools (which are more likely to admit on straight stats or very cursory review). This is effectively what the colleges themselves do when they say you can apply EA to state schools, but can’t apply ED/SCEA to other privates. [/quote]
