[quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for sharing. Things don't change if we don't start talking about them. From recent interactions with admissions, the record levels of applications is overwhelming, inefficient, encourages more side doors, and actually works against initiatives to include more FG/LI students. Single-digit acceptance rates scare off potentially good matches and attracts highly privileged applicants of varying student quality and insincere or desperate applications that clog what used to be a holistic system. The current system of applying to as many schools as you can thanks to the internet creates artificial demand and forces panic applications. This is kind of what happened with DC public and charter school lotteries before the coordinated application with rankings. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see colleges implement a lottery system just to apply. Something's gotta give. [/quote]
