[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why private schools limit applications. So selfish to the other kids in the top 10%.[/quote]

You know these kids can only enroll at one college each, right?  They are taking up zero spots for other applicants? Who are they hurting, exactly?

Are you seriously suggesting strong candidates cast a smaller net for themselves because you don't understand how this works?[/quote]I think if the colleges provided a better understanding of whether a candidate would be accepted, this large net approach would be wolly unnecessary.  Ie, what i suggested. A rank match system where a candidate would only be accepted to a single school[/quote]

Yes, give both the students and the colleges fewer choices.  That makes perfect sense.

Terrible idea that helps no one.

And how the heck can a college know who they will accept until they see the application?

You haven’t thought this through.  And you are not the first.
[/quote]How is it fewer choices? A student can only enroll at one college. [/quote]

Do you really need that explained to you?

Applying to fewer = fewer choices.

Accepted to only one but not guaranteed any one means you have a high likelihood of being shut out.

Colleges see few applications and build less appropriate classes.  [b]Hey Harvard, you wanted that math whiz from Nevada?  Sorry you’re getting another pianist from CT!  Got three already?  Too bad!  You are assigned by some mythical rank![/b]

I can’t believe you are seriously asking this.

If there was a better way to do this, that is the way it would be done.  None of you knows anything about it.[/quote]Again, a student getting multiple acceptances can only marticulate one. Do you seriously not understand that? SO harvard might and probably will lose the math whiz to MIT[/quote]

But the student has no guarantee they will be accepted to one. They are assigned by your mythical and unmanageable ranking system.

Do YOU seriously not understand this?

[/quote]who says its mythical and unmanageable? That is how medical residency is done
[quote]Also, colleges need to build classes.  All students are not replaceable parts.[/quote]Yet they will have multiple top schools accept the same student..... [/quote]
