HS senior here, decent academic record, not the 4.00 GPA, 35 ACT type, but still smart. I have a very unique EC experience under my belt and have a very niche interest in terms of what I want to study (a branch of engineering). So far I have applied to four schools, accepted into 2 of them so far. Over the summer I visited one of the two schools I’ve already been accepted into and fell in love with it. Loved the campus, people, geographical location and they are also ranked 12th in terms of graduate school for the program I would want to pursue. In my head, even during the summer, I was telling myself “Oh, I’m going to XYZ university” based off the good feeling I got when I visited.
Fast forward to now, with the November first deadline coming up, I am planning on submitting one more app (probably will), but am very certain I would like to go to the aforementioned university.
My question is, is it even worth applying to another school? I am somewhat worried because I feel like many of my peers are applying to 7-8 schools and don’t have much of a concrete idea of where they want to go. Is it bad I have already “decided” in my head where I would like to go? BTW my parents also liked to school I like.
