<p>Hmm..well maybe it comes across as being unfocused, unprepared, unrealistic, and egotistical. But when it comes down to it, my goal is to go to a great school. With the enormous amount of applications at every school this year, that makes my goal more difficult. I applied Early Action to a few schools, one of them is my second choice. However, I did not apply early to my top school because its admissions criteria is a lot tougher for the early applicant pool. This being so, I will not know if I got into my top school that I am dying to go to until April. I applied to many great schools, and realize that though I may be qualified for many of them, I will get rejected by some due to the increased number of applicants. And, I do have interest in all of the schools i applied to. I think every person's situation is different and it's best to know you have a choice between a few acceptances, rather than being stuck going to the one school you get accepted to.</p>
<p>10 schools buut 8 of them are music schools</p>
<p>would have been 23 but I got into my first two choices EA....so Im covered!</p>
<p>one of my friends went ED to Williams..got deferred....applied to 23 schools over winter vacation...got accepted to Williams in March...how much does that suck??</p>

One girl at my school applied to about 16</p>
<p>I feel so under-achieved. i only applied to 5 after i got deferred by duke</p>
<p>7, would've applied more except sending scores and application fees were too expensive =x</p>
<p>i applied to 11 schools. basically at the beginning i figured out my list.. it started with a lot more.. and then i whittled it down to about eight. i pumped out essays all first quarter and worked really hard on my academic resume...making sure my teachers knew what to do for recs blah blah blah. then once i had edited everything i sent most of them off through the common app and had about a two week window before most schools had deadlines. so i got bored and just filled out three more apps, reusing old essays. it worked pretty well... but the last three kind of were expensive. i got fee-waivers on my other ones.. so the sporadic ones actually turned out to be the wallet breakers. </p>
<p>also..i'm applying for theater... and i didn't realize that some of the last three needed auditions. two of them do! and both don't do regional ones either! so now i have to figure out a way to fly to florida and north carolina... my mom is ****ed </p>
<p>hahah oops</p>
<p>5, including one safety</p>
