So unless every single school you were maybe considering is on a direct admit, you're still going to apply to some schools, right?
And you don't necessarily know which schools are screening the students who register on these sites.
Not necessarily.
The folks who run the platforms tell me that they strongly encourage the participating schools to because that is a major selling point.
I have an example in the story of a student who it was really the scholarship offer that made a big difference in swaying her to go to the school that otherwise was not at all on her radar and was across the entire country.
So because the student isn't technically applying to the college, no.
They are not filling out an application.
They are not submitting an application fee.
They are just out there and the schools are wooing them.
There are a few instances in which certain states for their public university programs say,
where you know that you're qualified, you know that you are going to get into universities X, Y, and Z, but you still have to fill out the application, which kind of undermines the whole simplicity thing.
But even those, generally, the application fee is waived.
Not necessarily.
Again, it depends on which platform they're working through, which schools are connected where.
But a lot of these schools do have fairly low GPA thresholds.
Anybody getting above a 2.5 is admitted to this school or that school.
But there are obviously cases where that's not the GPA that certain students have.
So
I wouldn't register for one of these sites and cross my fingers and assume I'm going to just have the offers rolling in.
You might, but they might still not be from schools you really want to go to.
