[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell does limit applications to nine.[/quote] Probably a wise limit. If a kid cannot limit his pool of potential colleges to nine or fewer, he's not thinking carefully enough about the process. A blunderbuss effort to "win" by large numbers of applications suggests a lack of focus. It also would suggest the kid is trying to run up the score on admissions, which is a dumb game. Focus should be on quality of applications over quantity.[/quote] Plus, the "value add" of college counseling at independent schools is that the counselors have lots of time to work with the students and then to communicate and follow up directly with colleges, particularly in the regular application season. It's a lot easier to do that with a limited, focused list of schools instead of 15-20+ applications.[/quote]
