[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I 100% think there should be a box that autofills to how many apps the kid has submitted via the CA. Colleges would like that (A kid applying to your school as 1 of 6 applications is very diff than a kid who has your colleges as 1 of 60). And kids will eventually learn to stop applying to 20 schools. [/quote]

Not really fair at all.  If my kid wants to apply to 5-7 Elite/T20/Top SLAC but knows they are all true reaches (as they are for EVERYONE), why should that harm them with their targets?  If they are willing to research and put in the extra effort to do the essays, why would I stop them.
  But they would apply to 3-4 targets and 3-4 safeties as well because they are smart enough to realize you need a balanced list and the targets and safeties are where you are most likely gonna end up. 
 So close to 15 schools applied to.

But they would do that because they are smart enough to recognize that those 7 are reaches and not very likely at highly rejective schools.  IN reality they are only applying to 7-8 schools.

Where else my kid applies should have no bearing on the other schools.  School X does not need that information to make a decision.  It's game playing if we give them that
