<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Can someone PLEASE inform me if applying to too many colleges is disadvantageous?</p>
<p>I'm currently applying to 20 colleges.
Half are Ivy League and highly selective schools.
I was thinking of just trying since it's my one and only chance to apply to colleges. However, I noticed that I need to list all of colleges that I apply when I'm applying.</p>
<p>Is it disadvantageous?
Can someone please help me?</p>
<p>What do you mean list? Colleges dont see what other ones you're applying to unless you tell them.</p>
<p>I'd say 20 is a good amount in general since most are apparently ivies, as people who apply to all of them and are qualified usually get into a few of them while they may have been rejected when applying to just one.</p>
<p>Don't let people tell you it's too much; it's your future, and the only reason people would tell you not to apply to as many is because "lol application fees lolerian00b", which is retarded because $500 more isn't going to make a big difference in life. The workload? Just a few more hours filling out information that's on every other application as well. Compared to the rest of your life? It's a good investement.</p>
<p>It's a good choice I'd say.</p>
<p>Twenty? Wow. It's certainly not unusual on CC, but it's a lot.</p>
<p>If you have a legitimately good reason for every one, 20 is fine. If not, you need to seriously think about whether you can see yourself at each of these schools.</p>
<p>do u have enough time to apply to twenty schools? i hope you've done the majority of them already, seeing as most deadlines are in a month and a half. i mean think of all the essays you have to write.</p>
