CC Poll: How Many Colleges Did You Apply To?

<p>One -- and I've been accepted!</p>

<p>10, and I've been accepted to 1.</p>

<p>......</p>

<p>Ninteen.</p>

<p>5 I had a bunch more that I was beginning to work on, but I didn't do them.</p>

<ol>
<li>Well, technically 7 at the moment. Four supplements due 1/15 not submitted yet >_> <em>is working on them, almost done, nearly done, two more short essays to goooooo</em></li>
</ol>

<p>Deferred from EA. I've only got one sure-fire safety (state school), but I have some good safe matches. And the best thing about my list is that my current first-choice school is considerably less selective than a lot of the other schools I applied to. Doesn't make too much sense now. My argument: it seemed like a good idea at the time >_>.</p>

<p>Applied/applying to about twelve.... accepted at my safety/financial safety, and rejected from the most selective on my list. I'm waiting for all the others.</p>

<p>Applied to 3, in at one.</p>

<p>i applied to a grand total of seven: sdsu, cal poly slo, and five ucs</p>

<p>Eight. one in-state, the rest oos</p>

<p>Four: Duke, Vanderbilt, UGA, and UWG</p>

<p>3, almost did just 1, but did 2 more for no real reason.</p>

<p>3 Privates+ 7 UCs= 10 total</p>

<ol>
<li> 2 were EA (one accept, one defer) and the rest are RD. :(</li>
</ol>

<p>50.. one for each state</p>
