[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He applied to too many. That's my theory.

I've noticed when these kids post their accepted/denied/deferred/waitlisted videos on social media each spring, it's always the kids with amazing stats and ECs that applied to like 15-20 schools that get sh!tty results.

No one needs to apply to 25 schools. Applying to 25 schools tells me that you don't care where you go to school, you just want to get accepted to college, preferably a T20-25. Applying to all Ivys tells me that you don't care which Ivy you go to, you just want to go to an Ivy.

Kids are no longer selective. They don't show interest in one school and they don't make that interest known like they used to.

DS has lower stats than Stanley Zhong but expressed his interest from the start in attending Cal Poly. He was accepted and is in his second year there. DS only applied to 6 schools and was accepted at all: Cal Poly, U Mich, UCSD, VT, Duke, and UNC.  [/quote]
Schools don't know how many you apply to.  And with results like this of course kid are applying widely. [/quote]
