<p>My Christmas present this year was the permission to apply to more colleges. That was also doubled as my birthday present. I was born in June.....</p>
<p>Good Job. No one really cares how many colleges you applied too, you’re not special for doing this because many people apply to a large amount of colleges.</p>
<p>The sad thing is that most of these schools are a high reach for this guy. Although he is hispanic, his ECs are generic, GPA is 3.5, and SAT is barely 2000. It looks like he took a lot of non-honors classes too. A lot of money lost. Considering practically all of these scores average 700+ SAT subject test scores, his acceptance seems low just from that.</p>
<p>His subject test scores:
U.S. History: 670
Lit: 580
Math 2: 580</p>
<p>LOL. Wow, that’s a hell lot of colleges. BTW, that probably cost you at $70 average app fee * 26 colleges = $1820… And you only have a good chance for maybe 4-5 of these. Waste of money to be honest.</p>
