Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 4914314, member: 127"] I know my friend’s children and grandchildren, would apply to the Miami, FSU, Clemsons etc just to see if they were accepted even if they weren’t serious about attending. The University of Tampa was a favorite to apply to a few years ago. Many schools now aren’t charging for applications - even some high schools are saying the first 10 applications are free - when I was in school the cost of just applying was a real deterrent from applying to lots of colleges. It has to be an issue for colleges to figure out who is serious about attending vs those who aren’t. It would be interesting to see what % who are accepted actually do attend. My granddaughter applied to 18 colleges and was wait listed at just one out of all of them and they even contacted her late after she committed to a school, saying she was accepted. [/QUOTE]
