[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's say you are strong contender for Dartmouth. You want to go there badly. No matter who you are, you might not get in.

With the way college admissions is now, you may not get into NYU, or USC either.

Let's say you don't get into any of the above schools... then you have to settle for... like, Indiana? If you could have applied to Brown, Cornell, and Penn-- one of them may have worked out. But no-- that's TOO MANY applications (when including all of the "safeties" that are needed).

So you just have to go that state school you're not that excited about? This is actually playing out for many students and it is sad.

Let them apply where they want.[/quote]

You only need a few safeties, so to apply to Dartmouth, NYU, USC, Brown, Cornell and Penn and 3 safeties is 9 schools.  We need target/matches so let’s add 4, that brings us to 13.  Should be sufficient for nearly all high stats kids, give or take. Few schools.

No kid needs 30 schools and applying to that many just takes slots away from class mates that the 30 school kid doesn’t need and can’t use.  [/quote]
