[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kind of posts are dumb. It was a different era, before the common app. Every application was a production, and we all knew what was what with every school. The common app and shotgunning didn't exist back then. Back in the early 90s, you'd apply to maybe five schools. [/quote] +1. Applying to a bunch of schools cost a bunch of money. I'd never heard of anyone applying to more than five schools -- even 5 was a lot.[/quote] In addition, people were more judicious about where they applied. There was a self-selection element that isn't present now, based on the common app and increased aid packages. Also, OP, it appears that you didn't go to Penn? If it was so easy to get into, why not?
