[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Application numbers are out of control because of prestige chasers, merit chaser/very price conscious, & decision procrastinators (do I want small or big? Rural or urban? Apply to both, decide later!). All of it leads to less predictability in admissions with further drives group 1. I don’t think there’s any way to reduce application numbers. Even doubling application costs I doubt will help. Potentially, doing a UK system where, say, you can only apply to 1 Ivy or T20 or what could work but that requires a lot more coordination & buy in than I think American organizations driven on completion will ever do. I mean, they are the ones winning here[/quote] Going TEST REQUIRED used to limit the prestige chasers at schools. So many kids couldn’t meet the score cutoffs prior. You still have Duke, Vanderbilt, Hopkins, Princeton as test optional. Bring back some clear merit standards and it should ease up. [/quote]
