How many colleges are you applying to?

Applying to College
1

<p>I know there used to be a thread about this but I can't find it.</p>

<p>So far, I plan on applying to about 10. Is that average? Should I try to be more selective in my choices. I like all the 10 schools and it really depends on which give me the most money.</p>

2

<p>I’m applying to 6.</p>

<p>10 schools is a good number, but avoid the temptation to apply to more; it gets expensive.</p>

3

<p>I applied to ten schools myself. (Luckily, due to my family’s low income, I was able to get my application fees waived.)</p>

<p>Ten to twelve is a nice round number. Most people generally apply to eight schools. Beyond that, it gets messy.</p>

4

<p>I am thinking 4 before EA, 5 after if I get Rejected or WL.</p>

5

<p>10-12, still rounding out my matches.</p>

6

<p>6 to 10 is reasonable. My guidance counselor always preached eight:</p>

<p>2 reaches
4 middle-of-the-road (some better than others)
2 most-likelies</p>

7

<p>I’m gonna apply to at least 5 and no more than 8. Prob 6.</p>

8

<p>10 colleges?</p>

9

<p>I say 3-12, skeptical of applying to more than my backups since last semester grades of junior year drop, and I’m low in ec’s.</p>

10

<p>I’m applying to 10-12 schools, all of which I’m truly interested in.</p>

11

<p>8 schools currently, but I may (most likely not though) apply to some more schools which have free applications of some form.</p>

12

<p>I’d say 9-12. I have to see how ambitious I feel come fall. And how many essays I’m willing to write.</p>

13

<p>I’ve already been accepted to UAA, so that leaves 9. And I don’t think that will change really.</p>

14

<p>I applied to 11…and I think I only paid the application fee for 5 or 6 of them.</p>

15

<p>I applied to 13 colleges and got in 11 of them, also applied to 8 med schools and got in 3 of them as hs student this past year</p>

16

<p>I’m thinking 3 EA and 5 RD</p>

<p>That should be manageable</p>

17

<p>It’s looking like 8-10, with all applications hopefully done before October.</p>

18

<p>a friend of mine hired a personal college helper (haha idk what they are called) </p>

<p>they helped her decide which schools would be good for her and told her that its good to apply to 8 ish schools. more would be costly</p>

19

<p>4 ea and 5 rd i’m thinking</p>

20

<p>At the moment, one? I’m been having trouble finding places I like…</p>
