<p>3 years ago, i applied to 8 and got in 7. apply to more, as long as u fall around the 25% percentile, u got a decent shot.</p>

22

<p>Presently i have 4 definites and about 6 maybes...but i might need more considering that the list includes 2 ivies, Stanford, and MIT that i probably won't get in to.</p>

23

<p>I think I am applying to about 8-10 colleges.</p>

24

<p>Well, as of right now, I have 14 schools I'm considering. I'll probably apply to ~10. I have a friend who applied to 37 colleges last year and got into 26. I'm pretty sure she didn't sleep at all from October until February. :)</p>

25

<p>I think it's going to be 10, which I cut down from 12. Half of those are on the common App. I thought I had it bad until I saw some of these posts.</p>

26

<p>right now i have 11, and i doubt that will change.</p>

27

<p>I got 22!!!!!!!!!!</p>

28

<p>10 Right now, though it may be 11 in the future. Can't decide on Dartmouth.</p>

29

<p>Where can I find a listing of schools on the "Common App"?</p>

30

<p>21.....Thank goodness, most of them are on the Common App</p>

31

<p>why is everyone applying to so many? This is going to put a lot of kids on waiting lists. </p>

<p>i'm applying to 6</p>

32

<p>I think 37 must be the record. Yikes.</p>

33

<p>I applied to 20 and I thought it was the best decision I ever made. I had many choices and I was never forced to ask myself "what if" because I applied to all the schools I wanted to</p>

34

<p>Yeah, I'm applying to 10, though it might be 11 by the time I'm finished.</p>

35

<p>I'm applying to 10...maybe 11/12</p>

36

<p>Like 12 over here...and that's only counting the ones I really love...I might add some more though.</p>

37

<p>I applied to 7 schools. </p>

<p>Some schools will you give you application fee waivers with no questions asked. Some require that your family makes under a certain amount. Your counselor should be able to write you a waiver letter/give you a form.</p>

38

<p>I don't have to apply until next year but right now I have a list of 24. I plan to trim that down to 7 by next year.</p>

39

<p>I applied to 12 or so and got into all but 1. It's really quite a waste to apply to this many though because you find that you're only REALLY interested in maybe 4 or 5 of them.</p>

<p>I have 9 definites and about 6 maybes. Probably will cut the maybes down the middle and end up w/ 12.</p>
