Class of 2014 - How Many Colleges Did YOU Apply To?

<p>2 Safeties (got in)
3 Matchs (got in 1 so far)
7 Reaches (rejected from 1 so far)</p>

<p>The OP is insane. 30 schools? Yeah, that’s pretty difficult when you can’t get fee waivers. Ahem.</p>

<p>yale, princeton, stanford, penn, columbia, duke, nwestern, jhu, cornell, brown, rice, wustl, ucb, ucsd… so 14, i guess?</p>

<p>17 schools…I thought 17 was my lucky number…<</p>

<p>15 schools</p>

<p>I applied to six, five of which used the same application. XD</p>

<p>20</p>

<p>1 - Safety - Nebraska –> accepted got offered full ride at Honors College
4 - Competitive (BC, Vassar, ND, Vanderbilt)
4 - Highly Competitive (Rice, JHU, Duke, Chicago)
6 - Ubercompetitive (Penn, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, NYU-Stern, WUSTL–> rejected from Business School)
5 - Reach (Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, Yale–> got deferred SCEA)</p>

<p>Expect 4-8 acceptances, and then complex decision as everybody who has more than 2 acceptances: financial aid, quality of education, comfort level at school, sports, etc.</p>

<p>9 in the US, 5 in Canada, so that’s 14 total.</p>

<p>2 Safeties: Western, UTSC
4 Matches: Queens, UTSG, Waterloo, NYU
Reaches: UMichigan,
6 High Reaches: Chicago, Cornell, Duke, Dartmouth, Brown, WUSTL (waitlisted lol)
1 Super High Reach: Princeton</p>

<p>Wow I only applied to one… lol</p>

<p>applied to 14 I think well I’ve gotten accepted to 12 and 1 wait listed</p>

<p>Then Rensselaer (RPI) put me on their waiting list
Purdue has not replied yet</p>

<p>By the way out of all these which do you think is the best for Computer Engineering or Aviation</p>

<p>I feel like schools should be able to see where else applicants are applying, solely because of this thread and how shocking it is that a couple of you think it’s totally acceptable to apply to 5 schools you’d actually want to go to and 20 schools that you wouldn’t but are adding on because they’re selective and prestigious.</p>

<p>Umm…13… it’s lucky for me! It had cost me almost all my savings for the last 10 years!!!</p>

<p>Accepted at 2 and Rejected at 2 LOL… Rest are not out yet!</p>

<p>@ Jadua: Why people apply to many is to broaden their scope and maximize their chances to get in…they aren’t enrolling in all the 30 schools. Isn’t it?</p>

<p>As for my case… I have tried my luck for 4, really worked hard for 7 and the other 2 are safeties if I couldn’t get into the other 11.</p>

<p>jeez, this site really is full of college admissions nerds</p>

<p>I have a friend to applied to 52.</p>

<p>D applied to 19 schools. What she considered safety, match, reach and high reach, was a combination of being recruited and/or her ethnic status.
Safeties(4):
Tulane, W&L, College of the Holly Cross,UF
Match(3)
UNC-CHapel Hill, Bowdoin,MIDD
Reach(7): WASHU, Vandy,Georgetown,JH,ND,UVA,Tufts
SUPER REACH(5):Brown,Columbia,Princeton,Duke&MIT</p>

<p>First choice : MIT (WL) :frowning:
Got into so far: UF, Tulane, UNC, Vandy & WASHU</p>

<p>I applied 9 schools… And I thought that was a lot… before I saw the first guy claiming he applied 30 colleges… OMG… how many application fees he needed to spend</p>

<p>I applied to 7 schools for either Journalism or Broadcast Journalism:</p>

<p>U of Southern California (Accepted)
U of Central Florida (Accepted)
U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Accepted)
Arizona State (Accepted)
Northwestern (Waiting)
Syracuse (Waiting)
U of Oklahoma (Waiting)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, but they still generally seem to favor just a few schools out of those 30, so why apply to 25 more when it’s clear that they wouldn’t want to attend those 25 schools unless they absolutely had to?</p>

<p>I applied to 5. I am an idiot too. HYP Cornell and Duke. Wish me luck on April 1st! Silly silly boy.</p>
