Most people at my HS don’t apply to more than 4, and all the teachers/administrators like to keep it that way.
doesn’t that seem a little low?
'cause it does to me. I think I’ll be apply to 5+ no matter what they say (a couple safeties, a couple matches, a reach or two)…
anyways, how many colleges are you all applying to?
<p>4 seems way, way too low! Even if you get into each, how can you compare packages? You'd probably have to pick just safeties and matches, too, and therefore not challenge yourself a little with reaches. I wouldn't like that at all.</p>
<p>Since I already have guaranteed transfer admission at UConn, I'm probably going to apply to around 10, with a decent number of reaches included. I have 8 definites right now, but I want to add a couple more from my "also liked" list.</p>
<p>Yeah, people usually don't apply to many schools in my school either because everyone usually stays local. No one is really trying to get into Harvard or anything either. I think I'll apply to like seven schools, ten at the maximum, depending on if I can get fees waived.</p>
<p>Cryptic, check for free</a> applications. Lots of schools have them, especially on-line. I try to update the list every couple of days with more schools, so even if your schools aren't on there now, I might add them at some point. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, if I can get fees waived and/or free apps I will probably apply to closer to 7 schools. Thanks for the link beginning.</p>
