@RML

this list should have been extended to top 30 which would comprise of about 33 or 35 schools. many students who apply and were accepted to Michigan, for example, also apply to several ivies and other top privates and vice versa.

With this kind of logic, the next thing you know the list will stretch all the way down to Ohio State University (and then some)!</p>

<p>The list has to have a cutoff somewhere and people are accustomed to saying “top 25”. You have to ask yourself, is including XYZ university really worth breaking this time honored tradition?</p>

[RML]

<p>^ The logic applies to the original intention of the OP. Look at the volume of students that apply to Michigan and Ivies vs the volume of students that apply to Ivies and Ohio State. The top 30 are all elite schools, something that we can’t say the same for OSU.</p>

<p>^Hijacking the thread? -.-</p>

<p>Why did the CollegeConfidential admins disable quotes and polls? Spoiler tags would also be nice.</p>
