<p>Eh, it turns out I am applying to 25 also, like 12 of them are common apps and 8 of them are UCs and 2 are CSUs and rest are independent.</p>
<p>The answer is yes it is to much, and it would make picking a final college that much harder. However I will admit that would make the whole process of getting decisions that much more fun :P</p>
<p>Yes, it’s way too many.</p>
<p>(1) Clearly, the time spent doing that would be better spent on ECs, school, and having fun.
(2) Don’t kill yourself your senior year.
(3) It’s a huge waste of money.
(4) You shouldn’t write that many essays without first learning the difference between “much” and “many.”</p>
<p>Dude, I am the guy applying to 17 schools, and I have to say that filling out all the apps themselves isn’t that hard. You just get in the zone and pound out 3 or 4 supplements with the same information. If money isn’t an issue, do it.</p>
