[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I totally clueless or is part of the problem also the common app? When I applied, there was no way I could have applied to 18 schools as the girl in the article unless they were all huge colleges that basically used a formula. I didn’t waste my time applying to so many schools. But maybe it’s a chicken or egg question since the acceptance rates have gotten so low, kids have to apply to reduce the risk of not being accepted anywhere. [/quote] Yes definitely. There are several schools that don't even require extra supplementals to the common app (ie Northeastern, Pitt, Clemson, etc) so you can quickly submit to multiple schools as long as you can afford the application fees.[/quote]
