[quote=Anonymous]Many of the kids "rejected by safeties" for a good reason: the school looks at the application and sees that the applicant is overqualified as compared to the pool of accepted and attended students. Universities are aware that most students are sending in as many applications as possible and that many who are applying have no intention of attending even if accepted. So those students are rejected. It is time that students (and parents) stopped the practice of collecting acceptances--applying to schools they are not interested in attending just to get the acceptances. I have heard (and personally know of) students who applied to 18 or 20 schools, most of which they did not visit or had little interest in, only because the schools were perceived as 'easy to get into.'[/quote]
