6 years ago, Duke had the same admissions access problem as Northwestern did this year. It was a long 48 hours.....I think the hardcopy decisions actually arrived by the time access was available. My class of '06 kid applied to 7 schools, my current senior applied to 8.
Our suburban Boston high school in the 80s told us to apply to at least 5 or 6. I applied to 6.
I interview prospectives for Carnegie Mellon. They truly all have amazing resumes. My fellow alums and I always joke that we would never be accepted nowadays.
