<p>Planning on applying to 9 or 10
Reach - Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, Vanderbilt
Match (High Safety/Low Reach) - Boston University, Northeastern (EA), GA Tech (EA), U-Pitt, NYU
Safety - SUNY Stony Brook (maybe SUNY Binghamton also, and New Paltz RD if I don't get much acceptances)</p>
<p>9-10 is a pretty good number, especially since you have 2 safeties.
I applied to 13 schools 4 of which were UCs. </p>
<p>Applied to 8 last year. Planning on applying to 11 this year, but I’m applying somewhere ED so hopefully it’ll be just 1 this time ^.^</p>
<p>1! :)</p>
<ol>
<li>:)
College of Charleston- safe
University of South Carolina- safe
Coastal Carolina- safe
Winthrop University- safe
Alfred University- safe
Clemson University- reach? But I think I’ll get in.
Savannah College of Art and Design- fairly safe
Oh and can’t forget about Harvard- super reach. But once in a blue moon with a solar eclipse on a leap year divisible by 71 on Friday the 13th people like me have a chance. :D/ </li>
</ol>
<p>I might try my luck with Emory and/or NYU. </p>
<p>Right now, my list has 8. I don’t want to apply to too many but I would really like to get into a reach!</p>
<p>Im gonna apply to many UCs (almost all of them) since they all share the same application. most of them are matches for me. Also, im gonna apply to ~3 CSUs and ~5-6 pretty/prestigious privates</p>
<p>My D applied to 7 schools including 2 reaches, accepted by 6.</p>

<p>I applied to 18 schools last year :o</p>
<p>12 privates + 6 UC’s.</p>
<p>Applied to 10 last year. In retrospect, I should’ve only applied to 6 of those lol</p>
<p>A long time ago, I applied to two schools:</p>
<p>UW-Madison and Beloit College.</p>
<p>I got my UW acceptance letter first and given the jubilation in our household and from my grandparents (almost all Badgers), I really lost all interest in Beloit. I was accepted there also, but it was no longer of import.</p>
<p>I was a good student who took several AP classes and tests, got a 30 on the ACT (single sitting), had a 3.75 unweighted GPA, was active in choir and playing varsity sports throughout the school year. I graduated in the top 10% of my class.</p>
<p>I did not work as hard as I could have while I was in high school. But since time is finite (in the daily/weekly/monthly/annual sense) to have worked harder in school would have meant less involvement with friends and in sports. And I loved my time at UW. Two years out of UW (and with no prep), I took the GMAT, scored a 650, and got my MBA in Music Business from Belmont in Nashville.</p>
<p>The third school to which I had considered applying was Dartmouth.</p>
<p>I probably would have been waitlisted or rejected, but I still wonder.</p>
<p>My son applied to 15 last year. I think he could have cut his list down. I still don’t know why he applied to some of the colleges he did, but it was his choice and five of the colleges waived the application fee. Three were UCs, with a shared application. The application timetable was spread out to allow him to give them all fair attention. He was accepted at ten, waitlisted at two, and rejected by three. I think he could have cut out five of the colleges easily. </p>
<p>I’m only seriously considering 3-4, and I’m applying to one of those ED. </p>
<p>9-10 is a good number. Make sure that you have enough time to really put thought into each essay. The worst thing you can do is rush through your applications and essays just because you’re tired of filling so many out.</p>
<p>I think 16 for freshman admission (should have applied to farrrr fewer- I wish I had done 8-10), transfer I applied to 7.</p>
