[quote=Anonymous]The UK limits each student to 5 applications. If we could limit to 6 or 8 or something like that, people would sort themselves out with 3 reaches, 2 matches and a safety or something similar. The workload would be decreased for AOs, acceptance rates would rise, and our kids could get on with it. Each school can set its own criteria for admission. The solution lies in limiting the number of apps. Anyone else see the relationship between a 20% domestic admit rate at Cambridge and Oxford, where the best and brightest can only apply to one of them, and can only submit 5 apps total? One in 5…20%… Because we do not have a national curriculum, I don’t see how we could ever get away entirely from holistic admissions. But yes to required testing (can evaluate in context) and limit the applications. That would make me happy [/quote]
