<p>fiddlin, my son’s school also had an eight college limit. Although I understand the point of researching and focusing, I think that 8 is not enough for kids who intend to apply to HYPSM and possibly AWS. </p>
<p>My son applied ED to his top choice and was admitted so he didn’t have to armwrestle with his counselor, but at the time I felt very strongly that the highschool has no right to limit kids who want to apply to several selective colleges. (As long as their list is not just the whole ivy league.)</p>
