[quote=Anonymous]Our school limits at 15, but there are extra fees after 6. Large private not in DC. They originally just had the extra fee, I think because of the extra work by the department. But then everyone started applying to so many schools, they put a cap. Some kids, typically from striver families obsessed with prestige/rank, were doing like 20-25 applications. I think it makes sense. If 20 or 50 kids apply to someplace like BU from our school, we would probably have the same number of acceptances, maybe 10 max. I can imagine at some LACs, they’re only going to accept a few kids from the same school, so the cap helps. Honestly I think a 10 school cap would be better. DS has a safety with a 80%+ acceptance rate he’d be happy to attend, so not worried. [/quote]
