@Groundwork2022 , that’s how the UK limits such crazy application numbers/admit rates. I’ve often wondered about a similar system working in the US (obviously not quite as limiting as the uk’s 5 schools total and only one of either Oxford or Cambridge), given how much pressure is put on the process from the number of applications in the US I do think something like that would help. Agree it’s highly unlikely to happen… and of course, the colleges would have to deal with not being so “selective” as a corollary.
