How many colleges did you apply to?

Applying to College
1

<p>Just wondering, because I applied to eight, and I thought that was a lot, but some people on here seem to apply to a lot more.</p>

2

<p>Nineteen...</p>

3

<ol>
<li>3 were using Pathways, 3 were using the Common Application, and 1 didn't require an essay.</li>
</ol>

4

<p>3 + 3 + 1 = 8?</p>

5

<p>I think that would be seven bowler....</p>

6

<p>The odd one out, the one that used its own application and required two essays, was incidentally my first choice. A-G, eat my shorts!</p>

7

<p>5...most people I know applied to more than that, another girl at my school applied to 31!</p>

8

<p>i applied to 12
It was 10 but then two UCs said i could apply for free</p>

9

<p>A lot, not 31 though haha that's insane.</p>

<p>But I have no idea why, only Vanderbilt, USC, the UC's and a couple others interest me.</p>

10

<p>31???? Wow! They are like 50 dollars, so did she have to pay like
50x31 dollars????... 1,550 dollars???? She's going to spend her college tuition before she even gets in.</p>

11

<p>11 schools i think</p>

12

<p>I'm gonna apply to 13.</p>

13

<p>10.....</p>

<p>5=Common App.
5=UCs</p>

14

<p>10</p>

<p>they were all free, so why not?</p>

<p>She had free apps everywhere</p>

16

<p>9.</p>

<p>I wish I had done more. xD</p>

<ol>
<li> A bunch of my apps were free, and towards the end of the process I got panicky and tacked on a bunch of safeties.<br></li>
</ol>

<p>Applying to more than 5 colleges is considered really strange at my school. I got a lot of weird looks from people in the counseling office.</p>

18

<p>6, fairly standard number, although in retrospect I was waaay to safety heavy. 3 safties, 1 high saftey, 1 low-match, 1 low-reach. Only two were common app so I didn't bother.</p>

19

<p>Nine! Three safeties, three matches, three reach.</p>

20

<p>Nine for me. Two or three reaches (I'm on the fence as to whether I should have considered BC a reach or a match), two safeties, and the rest were matches of varying degrees. Five were on the common app, and there was one application for the two UCs I chose.</p>

<p>That was considered absurdly high at my school, by the way. I don't think I personally know anyone who applied to more schools, and most kids stopped at 5 or so.</p>
