How many colleges are you applying to?

<p>I realize I've asked this question already, but my last thread was deleted. So if you could, just post the number you applied/are planning on applying to. Like last time, if you know numbers of non-CCers, please post those too. Thanks.</p>

<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>

<p>UCF, USF, Florida State, UNC-W, San Diego St., Florida Gulf Coast</p>

<p>1 slight reach(FSU), 4 matches (UCF, USF, UNC-W, SDSU), 1 safety (FGCU)</p>

3

<p>1 EA, then anywhere from 1-11 depending on the result of that :P</p>

4

<p>Anyone applying to more than 8 is the cancer killing college admissions.</p>

<p>7 here.
Reach: Columbia, Yale
Match: Duke, Bowdoin, Williams
Safety: Colby, UMD - College Park</p>

5

<p>all colleges in usnwr top 100</p>

6

<p>Nine (mostly reaches because I have solid safeties) plus UCs (which I count as one application).</p>

7

<p>3 ivies
2-3 uc's
nice and simple</p>

8

<p>I might be applying to 10-11, but that figure may and probably will diminish.</p>

9

<p>During the summer my list had 12 schools but I have narrowed it down to 8 since then after realizing I didn't want to write 4 extra essays/pay 300 more dollars. 3 instate safeties, 3 out of state matches, 2 out of state reaches.</p>

10

<br>

<p>oh u</p>

11

<p>My list so far is eight (I'm a junior, though, so this is subject to change. Which way in terms of numbers, though, I do not know...):</p>

<ol>
<li>University of Miami </li>
<li>University of Florida</li>
<li>Amherst College </li>
<li>Harvard University </li>
<li>Massachusets Institute of Technology</li>
<li>Cornell University </li>
<li>Johns Hopkins University </li>
<li>Tufts University</li>
</ol>

<p>Not in any particular order.</p>

12

<p>1 rolling and 1 ED. Hopefully that will be it.</p>

13

<p>10 on my list. 1 ED, 1 EA. if i get into the EA one i will only send out 3 RD apps.</p>

<p>What happened to this kind of thinking? Gosh, I applied to 3 colleges: 2 safeties and a reach and I felt like I was wasting time putting together just those applications.</p>

15

<p>D did eight last year - 4 reaches, 2 targets, 2 safeties.</p>

16

<p>The average student now applies to 7-10 schools. This is mostly a result of the common application (<a href="http://www.commonapp.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.commonapp.org&lt;/a&gt;) and the ease of online applications.</p>

17

<p>i'm applying to 7. fortunately, i got fees waived for 4 of them!</p>

<p>3 safeties (already accepted to one)
1 match match
and 3 match/reaches.</p>

18

<p>Eight!</p>

<p>YALE (scea), harvard, princeton, columbia, stanford, nyu, usc, fordham</p>

<p>though if i get into yale, i'm not doing fordham, usc, or princeton</p>

<p>Sorry to hijack this topic...</p>

<p>Please explain this comment. You feel as though the challenge with the admissions process today is not the demographics bubble working through the system but rather the number of schools applicants choose to submit?</p>

<p>Nine.</p>

<p>Boyfriend's doing nine.
Friend's doing nine.
(We have a "nine" club...)
Different friend's doing ten.</p>

<p>(For the record, eight of mine are CommonApp. :))</p>
