[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow many of these statements are incredibly stupid.

If universities have institutional priorities (in other words, criteria for success which may or may not apply to a student), and we don't know what they are, then students have better chances at certain schools, can't know which ones those are in advance, and it makes sense to cast a wide net.

Which is to say nothing of the need to assess different financial possibilities.

But thanks for the probability lesson, Professor.[/quote]

First, you are welcome for the probability lesson, and apparently it was needed.

Who said not to cast a wide net? Reach-Match-Safety.  Based on stats, and (hopefully) Naviance scattergrams.  An imperfect process but the best one we have.  That's how you design your wide net, and not based on assumptions of chances or acceptance rates to calculate a false sense of likelihood of outcomes.  Even though, technically, admissions decisions are independent events and it seems like it should work. [/quote]
