[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty clear that she got special, advantageous treatment from Sidwell. At the time she applied to college, Sidwell limited most students to just nine applications.  They have since increased the limit slightly.[/quote]

How can they limit how many school students apply to?[/quote]

By not supporting the applications to schools above the limit.

If she applied to 13 schools she created a problem for herself - where does Sidwell push for her - all four ivies she applied to?[/quote]

But why? Couldn’t they have emphasized the schools where were they wanted them to “push”? The balance of the school wouldn’t get any particular attention.

I don’t understand why the volume was such an issue. Doesn’t seem with in the schools purview to limit how many schools a child can apply to.[/quote]

Sure it is, [b]the school has to write/send out more recs[/b], and it adds more management for each file. If one person does it, then 128 can do it, and all of the sudden you are dealing with 500 more applications.[/quote]

It's all pretty automated. Once the recs and transcripts are prepared it takes a matter of minutes to send them to each additional college. Also, it is a college counselor's job to support and serve the students, not act as gatekeepers.[/quote]

Agreed! Especially at $45,000 a year. I’m sorry if they have to handle a couple more applications per child. It’s frankly what they’re paid to do. [/quote]
