[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mmmmk this is common knowledge to everyone on DCUM right? Like zero new names on this list. This is the It’s A Reach For Everyone list of colleges. [/quote]
However, what may seem obvious to some may not be obvious to everyone. This is particularly relevant with respect to high school students who would like to explore a variety of college options, but whose parents or school counselors may not be familiar with a wide range of schools. [/quote]

I think the opposite is actually true.  Parents and their kids see a list like this and get suckered into some of these schools based on a low acceptance rate, when the school is just playing games with the ED process and opaque admissions criteria (in many case need aware) which cater to the full pay, test optional crowd (hello NYU, Tulane, Colby, etc etc). For those families who want to own another luxury ticket item, I say go for it.  For everyone else, buyer beware.

For the most selective schools, I would eliminate any one which is need aware for domestics students and/or admits 50% or more test optional.  But of course College Transitions is too lazy to take that next step.  [/quote]
