[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC’s friend was accepted REA to Stanford, but is planning to apply to Harvard and Princeton just “for fun”.  Seems like the same set of kids end up getting all the acceptances to the T5. [/quote]

Loser. Applications aren't fun. There are many better things to do with one's life. And it is potentially taking a spot from a classmate. Someone deserves a brown swirlie next time they are in the locker room.[/quote]
You're forgetting about their ego though! it's not enough to get into one school and be happy, but to get into multiple and ruin it for others.[/quote]

Eh, I don’t think that’s always true. These 17/18-year-olds who have been killing themselves for years may not be crystal clear on what they want and who can blame them. My kid got a golden ticket SCEA accept a few years back and was thrilled, hit “accept” immediately. A few days later she went into a tailspin and wondered if she should have applied to other places just to know what her real options were. She got over it quickly enough, went onto be very happy at the only school she actually applied to. But wondering about other choices is pretty human I think. [/quote]
