[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why private schools limit applications. So selfish to the other kids in the top 10%.[/quote]

You know these kids can only enroll at one college each, right?  They are taking up zero spots for other applicants? Who are they hurting, exactly?

Are you seriously suggesting strong candidates cast a smaller net for themselves because you don't understand how this works?[/quote]

Yes, they can only enroll in ONE school.  And if they are accepted at 15+ T25 schools, that means, even with Yield planning, [b]those other 15 schools (your kid cannot attend) could have accepted kids who would actually attend instead.  [/b]

Not saying 1 school, but applying to 20+ is ridiculous

This makes no sense.

The school will enroll the exact same number of kids under both systems.  But with yours, the student and the college have far fewer choices.  Who is getting in under your system that would not have under the current one?  Nobody.

No magical net gain.  No benefit.  Less flexibility.  Fewer choices.

Yeah, great idea.  I wonder why the people who have been doing this for a living for so many years did not think of it?[/quote]
