<p>Our school just put in place a rule that limits the number of elite schools we can apply to. It’s ridiculous.</p>
<p>^ Why? So people don’t compete with others at the school too much? Wait, my theory doesn’t make sense (what if they apply to the same places). What places are considered ‘elite’?</p>
<ol>
<li> Georgetown University </li>
<li> American University </li>
<li> George Washington University </li>

<p>I never understood the point of having a big list of schools… you’re only going to end up at one!!</p>
<p>I’m applying to four schools.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, I think it’s basically to limit the number of people competing for the same spots, since it’s rare that a college will accept more than 1 or 2 people from the same school. And I think by “elite” they just mean…Ivies. Which is stupid, because there are some schools that are way more competitive than, say, Cornell.</p>
<p>I am applying to 8. 6-7 in the US and 1 in Canada/Hong Kong.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You do know that you can’t apply to both Oxford and Cambridge right?
You probably do, but in case you don’t,
You have to choose one… a lot of people don’t know that :)</p>
<p>That’s interesting. Why can’t you apply to both?</p>
<p>EDIT: I googled. There’s no clear explanation why they have this rule. However, from what I’ve read, international students CAN apply to both.</p>
