quote from above:
“From earlier thread posts, I expect hard limit supporters were thinking about a different type of situation; such as the mediocre stat CC poster who applies to all Ivies only because they are prestigious instead of recognizing there is little chance of acceptance and/or figuring out which ones are a good fit.”
Actually, I disagree. I think a lot of limit supporters are concerned about the high stat kid who applies to tons of schools he/she has no intention of going to, maybe fishing for merit scholarships but sometimes just out of neurotic-ness or because the acceptances are fun. I hear all the arguments that this won’t hurt my kid’s chances but I just don’t believe that’s true.
