[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Application numbers are restricted so the top students don’t get all of the acceptances. They need to spots open at top colleges for the next tier of students. [/quote]

This is it.  
Do you guys not get it or are all your kids in the top 10%?

I have a straight A student at GDS.  Do you really want him applying to all the top 20 schools?  your B student is not going to get admitted if both our kids apply.  [/quote]

I thought we are in a free country...  How could a school restrict kids how many schools they can apply?[/quote]
Because GDS is a private school, and sending your child there is entirely voluntary. If you doin't like their rules, you should pull your kids out and find a school that allows you to apply to more than 10 colleges.[/quote]

Not a GDS parent but this comment has no basis in reality.  Parents applying to HS don't know that GDS is going to restrict applications.[/quote]

Parents look at college placements when choosing a school.  GDS wouldn't get the kind of results they get without these kinds of policies. It's a little hypocritical to want the college office to produce certain results, and yet not follow their guidance.  They want their kid to benefit from other kids being restricted and not to have their kids have the same restrictions.
