[quote=Anonymous]We didn’t limit our child but she limited herself. I think for every student applying to 40 in order to see what shakes out, one student realizes that she can’t handle option overload. Colleges know students apply to 100 schools and build it into their yield protection. When it’s free and as easy as a click, why wouldn’t you if you wanted to. My daughter applied to most of the SUNY colleges when it was their free application week back in October. Right now, she’s happy to have a reasonable list to work through. If she were applying to Ivies only, I would have recommended applying to all of them. It’s a lottery to begin with. It’s not based on a lot of understandable qualifications past the obvious. At the end of the day, there is a low chance the kids applying to 100+ schools are damaging the system much. Colleges emailing daily and extending deadlines for applicants. They chase the applications. [/quote]
