<p>I applied to 17</p>
<p>a CUNY school, a SUNY school–these were my safeties.</p>
<p>A school that kept bugging me about some personalized application with a waived application fee so I was like hey, why not?</p>
<p>One other Safety (UWisconsin)</p>
<p>the rest were all low-mid reaches because I felt that applying to a high volume of colleges gave my some statistical confidence to fall back on; the chances of me getting rejected by all 13 reaches are pretty slim.</p>
<p>Then again, they are independent events so basically, I have no clue about what I’m talking about.</p>
