[quote=Anonymous]Of course there shouldn’t be a limit. As long as college admissions decisions at the top are arbitrary and random, then no one would rationally limit their opportunities or else they may end up without a seat *anywhere*. If we had a system where you had 100% guaranteed admission to quality universities for meeting an objective metric (e.g. applying the Texas guaranteed admissions policy to all public universities), then maybe people can entertain whether it’s worth limiting applications at a certain level. However, that’s not the reality in the US system. When admissions at elite schools are literally called “lottery tickets” and “crap shoots”, then you can expect that people will try to buy as many lottery tickets or rolls at the craps table to get a single hit as they can.[/quote]
