[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no way they can cap something that has nothing to do with them. Other than sending transcripts the high school should really be hands off. Your kids can apply wherever they want. I do think more than 10 would be pointless, but still can’t be school regulated.[/quote]

They have to send recommendations, transcripts etc for each student, with 125 or whatever students, that is a lot to manage. Get one kid who wants to apply to 20 schools and it gets unmanagable.

Really, if you focus a list, there is no reason to need more than 10.

A school charges close $50K tuition can't handle sending recommendations, transcripts to more than 10 schools per student? Where does the tuition go?  Note some students get into ED and will not need to apply to RD.  So it is not that every student will apply to more than 10 schools.

Don't you know now everything is automatic that you just need to click a button to send those documents to schools? Remember all the schools will receive the same transcript and recommendation letters for one student.  If you say a school can't handle this, I am not sure what they can handle.[/quote]
