Who DESERVES to get into the best colleges?

I think those who SHOULDN’T get into colleges are the ones who just apply to like 20 schools and see where they can get in (usually they have high SATs and GPA so they get cocky). I hate them because they ruin other people’s chances, since they don’t pick the very specific colleges that they actually want to attend.

<p>I definitely understand where you’re coming from. On the other hand, as one of the people who will likely apply to a bunch of places, I want to be sure that I can go SOMEWHERE I like in the event that I don’t get into the places that I really love. It really is a predicament, because if everyone applies everywhere, the same tiny group will get in everywhere and most people will be left out in the cold.</p>
