CC Poll: How Many Colleges Did You Apply To?

<p>My son applied to 5.</p>

<p>7 down, 7 to go. 2-3 safeties, a couple of matches, and the rest super selective schools. FA a concern even with the safety schools, so S has or will visit most if not all schools accepted to with FA package that makes school affordable. Most schools if not all S could see himself at from the extensive research done.</p>

<p>My S is applying to 6 schools.</p>

<p>i only applied to 2 both were early.i mite pply 2 more if i don get in</p>

<p>I'm applying to 17, if you count each UC I'm applying to. If you count them all as one, then it's 14 private universities. Yay...</p>

<p>I've applied to two... Hampshire and Oberlin. I wanted to apply to more, but the other schools I'm interested in either didn't allow spring transfers or first-years. But these are two schools I really like, so it's not that big a deal.</p>

<p>14:
6 ivies (all but Dartmouth and Princeton... Yale SCEA)
2 LACs (Williams and Amherst)
2 religious (Georgetown and BC)
1 journalism school (northwestern)
2 safeties (Fordham and USC)
and finally, Stanford</p>

<p>My D applied to 6 for engineering. None were ED because she wants to evaluate her options, if any.</p>

<p>Already accepted at her safety, Purdue, with a $40K scholarship and several contacts from the honors engineering program. Any opinions on Purdue for engineering?</p>

<p>Will hear from UIUC on Dec. 14th, the others - not until Feb. or March. Might as well be 10 years from now... lol!</p>

<p>I've already applied to one: Northeastern (EA), and i plan to apply to eight more for a total of 3 safety, 3 match and 3 reach schools.</p>

<p>8;
2 Reach: Penn, Duke
4 Reach/Matchish: Emory, Cornell, Northwestern, Rice
2 Safety: Case, Pitts</p>

<p>I think I will apply to 12:</p>

<p>9 Reach/Match
3 Safeties</p>

<p>9;
3 Reach: BC, Notre Dame, UVa
5 Match: Villanova, Richmond, Wake Forest, Holy Cross, Colgate
2 Safety: WPI, Fordham</p>

<p>13
3 Super Reach: Princeton, Williams, Brown
4 reach: Cornell, Emory, Penn (ED) Duke
3 match: Michigan, Colgate, Wesleyan
3 safety: Lehigh, Bucknell, U Rochester</p>

<p>I only applied to 4. 3 Matches and 1 safety.
Oh yeah and a community college in case I don't make it into any haha</p>

<p>if you guys dont' mind sharing, how many reaches did you get into, and how many reaches did you apply to? i'm wondering what to expect when the decisions come around.</p>

<p>2 already (dream and safety), 1 next week (semi-reach they gave me a free application saved 70 bucks), and 2 more if i didn't get into my #1 ED (match, reach)</p>

<p>basically 5</p>

<p>Four- Penn State (top choice), Ohio State, South Carolina, and Georgia. Already admitted to the U. of South Carolina.</p>

<p>I'm planning on about six. I'd say if you have the means to apply to any number of colleges and you have an interest in all of them - why not?</p>

<p>Personally I wouldn't be able to handle more than ten. It seems like a lot of applications to keep track of. Plus it would suck really bad if you got like eight rejections on the same day.</p>

<p>3 if I get accepted ED. if no it'll be 4 :)</p>

<p>6 for me. All UC's!</p>
