[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be super curious how things would shake out if they limited apps like they do in the UK, like 10 tops.

BTW, people have mentioned this before and everyone goes nuts - common app does limit apps! -- but no, it doesn't.

I'd also love to see schools go back to requiring tests and also post a minimum for GPA and test scores.  I think 10% of apps at high reaches are totally a waste of everyone's time.  you have to have a 1200 and a 3.5, cmon people. We can read holistically from there. [/quote]

Yeah, but what about someone with a 4.0 and 1550? This is my kid and he got rejected ED1. He has a legitimate shot anywhere but might get rejected by all the top schools.

Well of course.  This should be expected at any school that is accepting the 1% top kids.  Apply to 10 and hope for 3.

The probable is if your kid and all his peers apply to 25, then they may get into 1.  They may think they’ll get into more but not if all these 1550+ kids are applying to same schools.  There are not enough seats.  [/quote]
