[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering that there are respectable, safety-for-all colleges still accepting applications, I don't think this is really a significant thing.

A student having an inadequate number or inappropriate safeties on their list is not really that interesting.[/quote]

I don't think in current times it's hard to envision someone with what seems like an adequate number of appropriate safeties getting shut out of those . . . seemed to be a bit of a pattern of some safeties WL or rejecting kids who were likely too qualified, presumably because they weren't going to come there anyway.

Should this happen? No.  Could it?  Absolutely, even if you're applying to 6 safeties.[/quote]

Right, but then they just apply to a school that does let them in. What's the difference if they apply before April 1st or after? We can't have a reaction to someone getting shut out if we don't know how realistic their list was. We can read into that fact and be shocked, but it's pretty meaningless.[/quote]
