How Many Colleges Are You Applying To?

<p>9 total...About 4 reaches (1 ED), 2 matches, and 3 safeties...but I am applying for engineering, so outside of my ED school the other 8 are on pretty equal footing in my eyes. I'm just ranking them as matches/reaches/safeties based on how hard I think they'll be for me to get in.</p>

<p>12 schools...2 safe, 3 match, 4 reach, 3 super reach</p>

<p>what are your 3 super reaches?</p>

<p>hopefully only one</p>

<p>but depending on december 15ths news, it'll prolly be like 9</p>

<p>Only 4 for me</p>

<p>Only four for me.....
If Carnegie Mellon declines my early Decision.. (very likely), then that number will multiply about... say four times? Heh....</p>

<p>11
3 safeties
the rest are reaches.</p>

<p>1 Huge Reach (ED) - Princeton
1 Big Reach - Cornell
1 Slight Reach - UVA
1 Reach/Match - William & Mary
1 Sight Reach/Match - University of Richmond</p>

<p>Yea, I know -- there is a pretty good chance I might not be going to college this Fall. In that case, my plan is to return to Guatemala for at least 6 months. I plan to major in Latin American Studies & Spanish anyway so this way I'll just be getting more exposure. Plus I have a little organization that helps Guatemalan children and I will be able to devote a lot of time to it. Last but not least -- during my gap year I will study my bum off for the SATs and come back to the U.S. and re-apply to every college that rejected me. If the same thing happens again, I will return to Guatemala and do the whole process again!</p>

<p>I keep changing my mind...
1 Huge Reach - Rice (in-state!) ED
Perhaps another Big Reach - Georgetown
Slight Reach - William and Mary
Match - Centre, UNC-Asheville
Safe Match - Rodes, Austin College </p>
