Did This College Admissions' Junkie Play Fair?

But, college admissions are getting so competitive, Harvard, Yale and Columbia made records by only accepting 7.1%, 8.3% and 8.7% of applicants, respectively. . With the odds against you while applying to an individual school, you're just giving yourself more options when you apply to more "reach" and "stretch" schools.

That $500 is an investment in his future. You would not refrain from buying stocks because someone else might also want to buy them and the stocks might make you a millionaire. It should be looked at like any other investment and the application blitz paid off for Zbylut with a choice between 17 colleges.

Overall, well-played, Lukasz, even if getting into 17 selective colleges is totally trophy-hunting.
