[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the common app, and top students submitting 10-15 applications, don't the selective colleges likely end up selecting the same 10-20% of applicants. I would assume that a large chunk of kids end up with multiple acceptances, and other top candidates are shut out[/quote] Absolutely. Superscoring, selective presentation of test scores, test score inflation, and grade inflation all work to exacerbate the information problem. colleges have less information differentiating students, and applicants respond to what feels like randomness by applying to still more schools....[/quote]
