[quote=Anonymous]The problem is a combination of entitlement, anxiety and FOMO. Kids/parents eagerly await the newest Top 20 list of colleges and universities and, instead of researching which ones might be a good fit, they just apply to them all and sort through any acceptances. This leads to lower acceptance rates because every "top" kid is applying to every top school, making these schools look even more desirable. And the vicious circle continues, round and round. The belief that you can't be a success unless you go to one of these top schools also fuels anxiety and the desire to apply to more and more schools, for fear of missing out. Do some research and use common sense.[/quote]
