[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not immersed in the college admissions scene but curious if anyone is out there advocating for getting rid of the common app? From my cursory introduction to this process, seems like only colleges themselves benefit from so many applications. Even though it might seem like a lot more work at first glance, wouldn’t kids benefit from reduced application rates as well as focusing specifically on the schools they want to actually attend (as opposed to Hail Mary apps they get forced into submitting in fear of being shut out)? [/quote] This is flat out backwards. The kids (and parents) are the ones that benefit from this. Not the schools. Harvard is fine with less. Some schools like BC have added extra essays to take the numbers down. [/quote]
