<p>I'm applying for 15, and all of my friends make fun of this because they're applying less than 7... I'm not sure if I should narrow my list down a bit but I'm just worried if I won't get into any college lol
So how many are you applying?</p>
<p>8 (2 reaches/2 high match/low reach/2 match/ 2 safeties)</p>
<ol>
<li>Every Ivy, Stanford, MIT, Cal Tech, Harvey Mudd, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego.</li>
</ol>
<p>Applied to Harvard EA, and submitted Cal Tech, Mudd, and Dartmouth apps because I finished those as well. Submitted UCs and am done with MIT (will submit soon). Working on Brown right now. Then I have Stanford, Penn, Cornell, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia left.</p>
<p>Dang! I guess it varies for everyone. I’ll just stick to my 15 college choices… Good luck, peeps :))</p>
<p>I’m applying to four… Haha.</p>
<p>I am a college freshman now, but I applied to 14 schools (5 in the UK; 3 safeties; 3 matches; 3 reaches).</p>
<p>15 is fine.</p>
<p>I applied Harvard EA, like bobtheboy (grrr, my competition), but my list is a little more spead out. I applied to Drexel rolling. I also sent in my apps to Columbia, Yale, and Northeastern, and am working on the MIT one right now.</p>
<p>I’m going to apply to 9 more: 5 matches, 3 more reaches (Ivies), and 1 more safety. Same reason as you - terrified of not getting it. I need to get into at least 1 reach. Then I’ll be okay.</p>
<p>mine is 6. All state schools. Dont really know where to go. I am not that great and kinda poor too, so private is prob not my first choice.</p>
<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>
<p>2 publics (including my flagship) and 7 privates.
=
2 reaches. 1 high match. 4 matches. 2 safeties.</p>
<p>EDIT: chainiwatmj – a private school is often more affordable than a public school because of the larger resources of funding. of course every private school doesn’t have a large endowment. you should check their common data set to see the breakdown of the average financial aid package.</p>
<p>For instance, my flagship says i can pay the whole $21,000. and the flagship that I’m OOS for says $28,000. I cannot. the private schools say i can pay $5-11,000. that i CAN pay.</p>
<p>Depends if I get into Notre Dame early action haha. If I’m accepted, then I will only apply to three or four more - all reaches. If not, then between six and ten others, two safeties, two matches and who more than three reaches.</p>
<p>9 schools:</p>
<p>4 safeties, 4 matches, 1 high match.
7 publics, 2 privates.</p>
<p>I’m applying to 10 (4 reaches, 2 matches, 4 safeties). 15 seems a little on the high side but totally fine; I think 5-15 schools is the norm.</p>
<p>I’ve got 11 on my list: 6 privates, 4 UC’s, 1 public out-of-state. the list used to be 16 haha</p>
<p>I am applying to 13 schools:
9 public schools, 4 privates
4 Reaches, 5 Matches, and 4 Safeties</p>
<p>At least 5, hopefully 7.</p>
<p>3 safeties, 2 match, 2 reach.
(2 of the safeties my parents are making me for scholarships -_-)</p>
<p>Yeahhhh…go with what you want because you don’t want to regret anything in the future (like “what it I applied there…”). I applied to 17 btw hahaha (did some international too)</p>
<p>17:
- Every Ivy except Yale (I hated New Haven)
- Total of 7 reach, 6 match (including high match), 4 safety</p>
<p>Hopefully I’ll still be standing in January after writing all these essays!</p>
<p>Officially 11 now. Harvard (SCEA), Yale, Stanford, probably MIT, Columbia, Penn, Dartmouth, Amherst, Duke, University of Cambridge (UK), and McGill (Canada).</p>
<p>I’ve already applied to 7 and I might add one or two more
I like too many places…</p>
<p>17:</p>
<p>1 safety (accepted already), 5 matches, 8 reaches, 3 it’ll-take-a-miracle reaches</p>
