[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools do this to protect students outside of the top10% of the class from a very top student who gets deferred from their ED/SCEA school then will apply to 25+ schools and scoop up all the admits. Until you've seen this happen in your kid's class it's easy to say that it's shouldn't be a policy. But it does happen and it can impact the entire classes' results. If colleges get an app from a top private from a student with a 3.99/1600 they are far less likely to admit your child with a 3.85/1550 at the same time. [/quote] I can see the point of this however given the extremely low admit rates of the selective colleges and counselor guidance to kids with top stats that they must apply to targets and safeties I don't think a cap works. My expectation would be that the top students will reduce their reaches and still compete in with the tier below them at via applying to targets. [/quote]
