<p>I'll be graduating High School in 2010, and I was just curious as to how many schools those of you in the Class of 2009 applied to.</p>
<p>6
MIT
Yale
Cornell
Emory
UChicago
Rice,
I got into 3 of them so i was happy</p>
<p>congrats chaoticorder</p>
<p>are 12 schools too many to apply to? esp if you have a rigorous ec and academic schedule to pull off from september to december?</p>
<p>will it be really stressful finishing 12 applications?</p>
<p>I only applied to 4 and got into 3.</p>
<p>Usually 5-10 is a good number, over 10 is a bit too much unless you’re planning on spending a lot of time on applications. I would suggest trying to knock at least 2 off of your list, or doing some of the essays over the summer (if they’re available already).</p>
<p>9 in the US, 2 in Canada. I think that’s the maximum I’d recommend though. It’s not that bad. There is really no right or wrong number if you have the time, energy, and money to apply.</p>
<p>6, got into 6</p>
<p>6
Princeton
Yale
Swarthmore
Vassar
Lafayette
TCNJ
Got into all but Princeton and Yale, going to Swarthmore with awesome financial aid!</p>
<p>7 for me, got into 4, waitlist at 2, reject from 1</p>
<p>looking back I should have applied to a few more reaches i think</p>
<p>got into
UNC
BC
Tufts
Duke</p>
<p>waitlist
william and mary
bucknell</p>
<p>reject
brown</p>
<p>I would apply to 8 or so to play it safe, I kind of wished I had applied to more.</p>
<p>^ why’d you get waitlisted at bucknell? <em>scratches head</em></p>
<p>Son applied to 13 colleges - 7 in the top 25 (reaches), 3 matches and 3 real safeties.
He got into 8 (going to Northwestern), waitlisted at 2, and rejected at 3.</p>
<p>Of the 7 reaches - he was accepted to 3, waitlisted at 1 and rejected by 3.</p>
<p>We had discussed the reaches but decided to go for it, because most of them met 100% need and we needed FA in order to go. Northwestern was one fo those schools that meets 100% need and the FA was very good. So the approach worked out very well.</p>
<p>I applied to seven</p>
<p>Williams
Amherst
Swarthmore
Haverford
Vassar
Oberlin
Bowdoin</p>
<p>She applied to three. Two were matches and one was a safety. Got into the honors program/college of all of them. </p>

<p>zebes</p>
<p>I applied to 13 schools, got into 9 (including Tulane, UF, UVM, Binghamton, Union, Gettysburg…ect), waitlisted at 3 (JHU, Richmond, Lafayette) and rejected at one (Brown)</p>
<p>I applied to 1 Grinnell (ED) but had 9 other applications(Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Amherst, Williams, Oberlin, Kenyon, Macalester, Carleton, Dartmouth) ready to send off if 1 failed.</p>
<p>I applied to 11. I think that’s too many, but I couldn’t narrow my list down at the time.</p>
<p>I’m planning on applying to four:</p>
<p>Michigan
Notre Dame
Wisconsin Madison
Iowa</p>
