[quote=Anonymous]Problem: the number of applications from each student is exploding, with negative effects all over the place Problem: there’s no way to absolutely prevent people from applying to a lot of schools Solution (suggested by that other poster’s “dumb thought”): elite privates launch an ED3 round where a student can apply to that school and up to three other ED3 schools. Benefit for the school: they get apps from people who don’t feel they can commit to just one school yet, whether for emotional or financial reasons, but they know they’re reasonably likely to yield the student because their school is in the student’s top 4 Benefit for the student: increased odds of admission because the school knows the student is more likely to yield Honestly it could run on the same timeline as RD. It wouldn’t stop students from applying to lots of schools if they wanted to, but it would favor kids who identify a more focused list. [/quote]
