<p>I plan on applying to MCS, but are there benefits/negatives to applying to more than one of the schools?</p>

<p>Benefits:
-Take a shot at a wide array of programs that interest you. If you’re lucky, you can choose between them should you be accepted to all of them.
-Doesn’t hurt your chances at any school unless there’s conflicts between your essays</p>

<p>Cons:
-Fitting in two schools into a one page essay.
-Possible perceived lack of passion if not handled properly (try to avoid shotgunning schools and seeing which ones hit)</p>
