[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] Sorry typed my answer too fast--you are definitely not totally clueless--the common app does make it super easy to apply to more schools. Many require additional supplemental essays, but lots don't.[/quote]
