[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an arms race on applications and it is hurting everyone. Did you see the WaPo article fawning over the girl with 50 acceptances? It's a disgrace. People pushing applications to so many schools push others onto deferrals and waitlists -- and just fuels the fire to apply to more schools to hedge the risk. The kids should have to disclose to the admissions offices how many schools will be getting their application. [/quote] That headline has been misconstrued though. She applied through the Common Black College App, which automatically makes the application visible to 65 HBCUs (so students can get offers from any of the schools that participate—many are smaller schools so this benefits them by expanding the applicant pool and promoting lesser known HBCUs).[/quote]
