How many schools is each of you applying to?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>How many schools in all including EA/ED?
What are they?
How many essays in all?
How many of them accept common app?
How many Early action/decision?</p>

<p>I consider 8 a reasonable number - 1 EA and 7 regular.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

2

<p>I’m applying to four schools: Cornell (ED), Yale, Arcadia, and St. Lawrence (last two are safeties). I think more than five is overkill, but I guess if you’re not totally sure where you want to go…</p>

3

<p>I’m applying to 9. I think it’s better to apply to at least 7 so that way you have more options…but that’s just my opinion.</p>

4

<p>I’m applying to 10 (it would be 9 but my parents are making me apply to a state school…in state obviously)
BC, Villanova,BU, Northeastern, UDel, Wake Forest, U of Richmond, William and Mary, Vanderbilt, and the state school
They all take the common app
Most of the supplements haven’t been released yet but I’ve seen 3 and 2 of them have one essay each.
Applying EA to all the ones that offer it and regular to those who only have ED or don’t offer either</p>

5

<p>I’m applying to 9 schools. 2 CSU schools, 6 common app, and 1 independent app. 2 EA schools, 1 rolling school. 3 (total) supplement essays to write – two of my schools have some cute quick takes that they ask.</p>

6

<p>All of them.</p>

7

<p>^lol
I’m applying to 5 schools: Notre Dame, Elon, Kalamazoo, SUNY Binghamton, and UC Riverside, all RD.
I might apply to other UCs & some Cal States.</p>

8

<p>This is really annoying me… so I’m going to ask:</p>

<p>The title of this thread is grammatically incorrect, right? Shouldn’t it be: How many schools are each of you applying to?</p>

<p>I just have to know. :p</p>

9

<p>Applying to a bunch: Yale SCEA, UF, USF, U of Chicago, Georgetown, Tufts, UPEnn, and more that I’m forgetting</p>

10

<p>You IS right eobaggs ;)</p>

11

<p>About 12 colleges. 7 reaches, 2 matches, 3 safeties</p>

12

<p>@Lifeofsolitude: Good to know, ha. I’ve always hated the word “each”. </p>

<p>And I’ll be applying to around 12 or so. 2 Safeties and the rest reaches. :D</p>

13

<p>11 - 4 reaches, 4 matches, 3 safeties. Could honestly see myself at any one of them, decision time is going to be really really tough.</p>

14

<p>14… D:</p>

<p>By the way, I think it’s “is,” since the word “each” is used. Barron’s ACT 36- “each is one body trick.”<–always corresponds to singular verbs ;)</p>

15

<p>No because the subject of the sentence is schools which is plural so it should be are
Each of you has nothing to do with the helping verb here</p>

16

<p>I’m applying to UPENN, Bradley, DePaul, & Notre Dame through the Common App so far. 2 other schools I’m applying to aren’t registered on Common App so gotta do that separate =/</p>

17

<p>

</p>

<p>Technically, this is still grammatically incorrect. You shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition. :P</p>

18

<p>

</p>

<p>Really? Would you ask “how many schools are he applying to?”</p>

<p>The subject of the sentence is “each of you”, which is singular.</p>

19

<p>If only the OP had said, “How many schools are you applying to?” we would not be having this grammar war ;)</p>

<p>Personally, and grammatically, I think it should be, “How many schools IS each of you applying to?”</p>

20

<p>I’m applying to seven. U. of Alabama, Vanderbilt, Duke, Wake Forest, Emory, Tulane, and probably UNC-Chapel Hill. Tulane’s the only non-common app school. I haven’t seen some of the supplements yet but I know I have at least 3 essays between the common app, Duke, & UNC, and I’m sure Wake Forest has more too.</p>
