[quote=Anonymous]I think it would help a lot of things for the better. Acceptance rates would stabilize, kids wouldn't have burn out from writing essays for 20 different schools (ok some overlap, but not all of them do). And people would be focused on each place more intently, rather than just vaguely throwing out applications to gain bragging rights, which does sometimes happen. My kid applied via UCAS for UK colleges. Normally they encourage 1 reach, 2 targets and 2 safeties. But because he had AP grades in hand that met the entry requirements he was able to apply to 5 (the total allowed) targets. He got 5 offers within a month and chose the place he wants to attend. So this was all over for him by the end of October. A much saner time for everyone, as a result.[/quote]
