<p>Pfft, casuals.</p>
<p>Seriously though, I applied to 23 colleges. About 10 of them were in a search for scholarships (specifically full rides, and I did get a few), but the rest were all matches/reaches. I don’t regret it and like the options I had come decision time. I still went with the very first school I applied to (applied in September and was set on going there; decided on applying to 22 other schools in December), but it was nice having options.</p>

<p>+1, this +1000. Finances are the reason I made the decision I did.</p>
