<p>Does anyone who applied to many schools regret it?</p>
<p>I applied to 7</p>
<p>Accepted to 6: NYU, USC, Bard, Fordham, American, Howard</p>
<p>Rejected from Columbia
6/7 in my opinion not bad. lol</p>
<p>i would agree that 5-10 is a reasonable amount, though this is largely subjective since different people adapt to different things. I would advise you to start outlining your essays as soon as they are posted.</p>
<p>D did 9. Highest I have heard of topped 25. Honest.</p>
<p>I applied to 7.</p>
<p>USA:
Boston University
Skidmore College
American University
Drew University</p>
<p>Canada:
McGill University
University of Toronto
University of British Columbia</p>
<p>I got accepted everywhere, which I was not expecting. Kinda wishing now I had applied to more places.</p>
<p>I applied to 10:
Accepted:
Emory
Seattle University
SUNY Stony Brook
Robert Morris University

Fordham University</p>
<p>Waitlisted:
Occidental College</p>
<p>Deferred and withdrew:
Northeastern (I regret this, but I’m super excited to go to Emory)
Tulane
University of Denver </p>
<p>I advise that you don’t withdraw any applications</p>
<p>My son applied to two, Princeton and our state flagship as a backup. Accepted at both, will attend P.</p>

<p>12 apps was a lot of work, but I got exactly 12 fee waiver applications…everyone is different. Some people only applied to three (and they’re perfectly happy w/ where they’re going). I know someone who applied to 18 schools…</p>
<p>For those '09ers with ~10 apps, how difficult was it to continue producing essays, or did you just mainly recycle a few main ones?</p>
<p>I applied to 10.
Accepted at 8, waitlisted at 1, rejected at 1.</p>
<p>It really wasn’t bad. 9 out of 10 were common app and I had fee waivers. I had some supplement essays, but most of them were mainly ‘why do you want to go here’ which aren’t that bad.</p>
<p>I applied to 14, accepted at 7, waitlisted at 3, rejected at 4, still got into my top choice, and after that realized I should have only applied to like 8-9.</p>
<p>Accepted:
Cornell
CMU
Colgate
Holy Cross
Rutgers
TCNJ
Fairfield</p>
<p>Waitlisted:
Bucknell
Tufts
BC</p>
<p>Rejected:
Johns Hopkins
UVA
Brown
Georgetown</p>
<p>Was the number of interviews tough for anyone who applied to multiple top schools?</p>
<p>skyraptor - wow, accepted to Stanford, but waitlisted at Pitzer…that’s a surprise.</p>
<p>My D applied to 5, which was uncomfortably small to me. But it worked out in her case; she’s going to her dream school.</p>
<p>I’ve always heard that 8-10 is a good target. Any more than 10 or so just seems to me like either desperation, or an unwillingness to make difficult choices. It’s hard for me to believe that any kid could put together 20-25 quality applications. Better to spend that time on the front end, making a thoughtful, realistic, well-researched list. JMHO</p>
<p>I applied to 10, got in to 9. One reach, one low match, 8 safeties. Probably wasn’t the best way to go about things.</p>
<p>I applied to 11 and was accepted at 8. Wait listed at 1 and rejected from 2.</p>
