<p>How many programs did you people apply to? And how many other, non-program schoold did you apply to? How many total?</p>
<p>It's just that I think I may be applying to quite a few programs and only one or two regular undergrads. Just wondering what others have done or are going to do.</p>
<p>Seriously, anybody???</p>
<p>I am going to apply to about 20 schools (i know its excessive) of which about half are program schools.</p>
<p>I guess I should also tell mine:</p>
<p>I'm applying to about 18-20 schools of which about two-thrid are programs</p>
<p>Insanity. You guys do realize that you don't need to apply to so many schools and are taking the spots of other kids that really want to have a chance too?</p>
<p>Well I want to try to get those spots too.</p>
<p>I understand that, lol, but I'm sure you'll get in to them.</p>
<p>Anybody else want to contribute, please?</p>
<p>i think that i'm going to apply to about 10-15 direct admission and about 4-5 regular. but you also have to consider that when u apply direct (ba or bs)/md you also have a chance of getting into the undergrad program but no guaranteed admission into med school</p>
<p>Why so many schools??? It makes the decision making a lot harder. Firstly, I would max out at 12 schools most. Preferable: 1 = safety, 4 = reaches, 4 = dream schools. Applying to so many places may be a little tough, but I guess the argument is that you want to make the best decision, which means that you have to have the most choices available. So, I would advise not to apply more than 12, but it all depends on how much confidence you have in yourself.</p>

<p>I think you mean 4=matches instead of 4=reaches...</p>
<p>I guess I want to apply to so many so that I do have the chance to make a better decision depending on where I am accepted.</p>
<p>20 schools is insane! I have friends who applied to 12 and they were miserable, very stressed out, and seriously regret it. I would apply to 10 max. I agree with hydrogen3k- 1 safety, 4 matches, and 4 reaches.</p>
<p>i applied to about 5 programs, and like 5 regular schools. The programs are very hard to get into, so yes i would apply to more than 5. Also, choose programs that are within reach, don't go for the ones that you know you dont have a shot at but apply just for the heck of it, because its just a waste of time.</p>
<p>funkmasta, where did you get in (and what program/college are you attending) and what were your stats?</p>
