[quote=Anonymous]Limiting the number of applications is good for a school and since privates care more about the school's reputation and attracting more students with its list of where students are attending, I can see why they do it. But as a parent whose kid has no clear advantage (we are not Senators or VIPs, our kid is not a URM or a recruited athlete, etc) the landscape is simply too unpredictable to necessarily be comfortable being limited to 12 schools. And we are full pay. Also, at the end of the day, schools are going to aim to have a certain number of kids in their freshman class. If there are a lot of kids who get into all the Ivys plus Stanford, those kids will all have to pick one school in the end and eventually more kids will get off the wait list. So it all comes out in the wash.[/quote]
