[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are currently at a private school outside of the area. For years the school has had a 10 application limit that was strictly enforced.  The goal is to have to kids put work into developing a really solid school target list (and minimize competition with each other too I am sure).  For the past 2 years parents have been hearing stories about kids who got rejected from all 10 and that leading to a mad scramble to get a few more applications in to get acceptances.

The school is now asking for feedback from parents about the application limit.

I have a sophomore and a middle schooler, so I’ve just started watching this board. And I admit I’m worried. My sophomore DD is also starting to get worried, mostly through the stress on her older friends.  I am trying to focus on there being a good fit school for everyone. We also talk about how top 50 school admission is more of a lottery than anything.

What is a reasonable application limit in this world? [/quote]

My son’s private school limit is 10 also. He got into 9/10 schools and was waitlisted at one. Sounds like you need to make a better list. [/quote]
