[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing ..... and I am talking with the benefit of having had five children go through this college experience and now a grandson who is starting college later this year.

It does not matter if you were turned down at multiple colleges ...... what matters is whether you got into one desirable college. Getting into all or multiple colleges that one applies to gives one bragging rights but nothing else. My grandson has been accepted into a school which is excellent even though he did not get into his first preference but within the scheme of things it does not matter one wit.

I wish the undergrad college process would have something akin to the matching program for med school. Each student would apply to whichever colleges they are interested in and then rank the colleges in order of preference. Colleges would do the same for all applicants and whichever college is highest in a student's ranking that offers a place to that student would end up being the only college the student would be eligible to enroll.[/quote]
