[quote=Anonymous]There's a lot on this thread and others about how broken the system is, and how admissions offices need to make all these changes. There no doubt are issues that could be addressed, but the much bigger issue is the mistaken assumption (due largely to USNWR rankings and others) on the part of applicants, parents, high schools, etc. that there's a definitive group of colleges that are significantly more capable of educating the brightest students than other colleges are. People's understanding of appropriate matches for top students needs to expand SIGNIFICANTLY to include hundreds of colleges, not just a dozen or two. There's very little difference in the quality of education between the Ivies+ and their safety schools.[/quote]
