<p>I'm aplying to 11-12 becuase I have 4 or 5 reaches that I love, so I also have to add a similar number of safeties/matches jsut to level out the riskiness of my list.</p>
<p>I'm probably applying to 6-7</p>
<p>Yale, Georgetown SFS, Duke, Emory, Penn, Macalester (?), Rutgers</p>
<p>NYU
Mcgill
UMD
UTexas
UIllinois
Rutgers
Purdue</p>
<p>7</p>
<p>sorry kind of off topic but what are safety/matches/reaches</p>
<p>Safety is a sure bet.
Match is a good chance but could possibly go either way.
Reach is a very low chance.</p>
<p>I'm winning. C'mon, someone say one :P</p>
<p>I'm mostly finishing 3 applications this summer...</p>
<p>Carleton (ED)
Beloit (EA... yay for Carleton allowing this! This is a safety school)
Oberlin (My second choice, want to spend a lot of time on this app and get it sent in early-ish)</p>
<p>Then, if I don't get into Carleton...</p>
<p>WUSTL
William and Mary
Truman State
UNC-Chapel Hill
Grinnell
Denison
Cornell
Williams</p>
<p>So yeah. 3 if things go well. 11 if they go poorly.</p>
<p>well so far my list is</p>
<p>Virginia Commonwealth University - Super Safety
Syracuse University - Safety/Match
James Madison University - Match
Virginia Tech - Match
UVA - Reach
William and Mary - Reach
Amherst - Super Reach</p>
<p>So so far my list is at 7 schools... I might apply to a few others, not sure yet.</p>
<p>Georgetown- EA
Boston College- EA
U of Michigain- rd
UVA- rd
William and Mary- rd
Johns Hopkins-rd
Tufts- rd
Case Western Reserve U- rd
Virginia tech- rd(safety)</p>
<p>I think you should apply to atleast around 9-10 if most of the colleges are reaches. I only applied to 8 this year, and I didn't have many options because most of my schools were reaches.</p>
<p>jpod- I did apply to one school (wesleyan- early decision) and got in if this past year counts:-P</p>
<p>8 at the max</p>
<p>Cornell
USC
Stanford (please please please . . . . )
Vanderbilt
UMich (maybe)
Rice (maybe)
UMiami
GATech</p>
<p>If I don't get in anywhere I'll try to get a full ride at one of the state unis here.</p>
<p>One. University of Florida.</p>
<p>Cool.. I think I will cut my list of 15 colleges to about 10..</p>
<p>i'm applying to 15 (UCs count as one). i originally had more, but was forced to cut my list down. i am not budging this time.</p>
<p>Hm..still strugglying to select colleges.. I don't really want state unis but if they offer scholarship i might consider..</p>
<p>13 or 15 the ucs and cal states are like one appplication and they give fee waivers, i hope i get them ! or else i've gotta save up more,</p>
<p>Right now, I'm thinking somewhere between 8-15.</p>
<p>Reaches:
Princeton
Cornell
UPenn</p>
<p>Matches:
American
Georgetown</p>
<p>Safeties:
Seton Hall
Rutgers
Saint Peter's</p>
<p>Yeah...I need more matches.</p>
<p>I had no trouble applying to 15 schools last year.</p>
