[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's necessarily the number but the range that's important. Even a very competitive student shouldn't just be applying to Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. In general, 2 safeties, 3 mid-range, 2 reaches.[/quote] This was what we did back in the early 90s. Shouldn't the #s be increased for the new model? [/quote] Why? [/quote] Because more students are applying to more schools? Instead of being comparable to X number of similarly-qualified peers you are now being compared to 1.5X. Less chance of getting in. [/quote] That does not make sense to me. The number of students isn't increasing, just the number of applications. The number of actual slots available at a college has not changed either. So, the colleges will just accept more students and have a decreased % of their admissions actually attend. So the chances should be the same - sort of like 1/2 = 2/4. [/quote]
