[quote=Anonymous]"top 20 schools enroll about 49,000 students annually" He wrongly equates this to how many seats a kid has a shot at. This would only be true of kids who are "Top 20 or bust," who apply to all 20 of them, which is not the case for most students. If you don't want a big school, scratch X. If you want to be close enough to home to drive, scratch Y. If you need a certain amount of money to afford it, scratch Z. If you want something specific (Catholic college, small engineering, a particular program or professor, etc.etc.), scratch P. If you are only applying to 8-10 colleges to begin with, and you need to make sure some of them are target and safety, scratch D. If you are a candidate for a full ride to a great school and your family needs that, scratch Q. For some kids, that narrows the seats available by a significant amount (49K - (X+Y+Z+P+D+Q)), and they are just as likely to choose from a completely different set of colleges.[/quote]
