[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, it always looked like the main purpose of essays was to keep the number of applications individual students make under control. Without essays, you KNOW there would be plenty of students who would be applying to 40 or 50 colleges. And they could do so in a single afternoon.[/quote] Maybe in the distant past, but colleges jumped that moral shark since then. They encourage more people to apply now so they can make money on application fees - random mailers, test optional, spam e-mails all encouraging people to apply. [/quote] I don't think they actually make money on app fees. They all want more applicants for sure, and it is out of control for T20 schools, but that suggests that we should expand our definitions of top schools. It's not exactly jumping the moral shark, Fonzie.[/quote]
