<p>Seniors, how many colleges of each category are you gonna apply?</p>
<p>Let’s see.</p>
<p>Vassar College (Match/Low Reach)
Boston University (Match)
SUNY Geneseo (Match)
Wesleyan University (Reach)
St. Lawrence University (Safety)
Northeastern University (Safety)
University of Chicago (High Reach)
McGill University (match)
University College London (Match? or Low Reach)
King’s College London (Low Reach)
University of Exeter (Match)
University of British Columbia (Match)
Brown University (High Reach)</p>
<p>3 safeties (IUPUI, CUNY Hunter, Pace)
3 matches (loyola chicago, eugene lang-the new school, boston university)
3 reaches (northwestern, nyu, macaulay honors college @ hunter)</p>
<p>I’m going to apply EA to one reachish/match and one match/saftey that I think I can get into. If I don’t, then that is fail, but that is when I will get some safety schools lol.</p>
<p>So two at the moment. =D
I may ED II if I don’t get into my first choices, also.</p>
<p>University of Washington (safety)
Boston University (safety)
NYU (Match)
USC (Match)
Carnegie Mellon (Reach)
UCLA (Low Reach)
UCB (Low Reach/Reach)
Stanford (Reach)
Cornell University, School of Hotel Management (LowReach/Reach?)</p>
<p>i’m not a senior, but from what i can tell its kind of like:</p>
<p>2-3 safeties
6 matches
4 low-mid reaches
4 high reaches</p>
<p>incredibly large number of applications, i know.</p>
<p>1 Safety
Univ. of Nebraska</p>
<p>4 Matches
Carnegie Mellon
Univ. of Illinois
Univ. of Michigan
USC</p>
<p>5 Reaches
Rice
Northwestern
Washington U
MIT
Stanford</p>
<p>I think I have 2 reaches/matches (Wheaton [Il.], Lewis & Clark), 4 matches (LMU, UPS, Willamette, Gonzaga) and about 3 or 4 safeties (McDaneil, PLNU, Quincy U). But those numbers will probably go down because of app fees. :</p>
<p>2 reaches (ucla, usc)
3 matches (uci, ucsb, american)
5 safeties (usd, chapman, cal poly, ucsc, cal state long beach)</p>
<p>3 Safties.
3 Matches.
5 Reaches. (You only get one shot as applying to colleges so why not?)</p>
<p>3 Safeties (BU, Northeastern, UMass Amherst)
6 Matches (CMU, Duke, Rice, UIUC, UC Berkeley, Lehigh)
3 Reaches (MIT, Cornell, Columbia)</p>
<p>3 safeties: College of Wooster, Syracuse University, University at Buffalo</p>
<p>3 Matches: NYU, Boston University, UMich</p>
<p>3 Reaches: Northwestern, Chicago, UPenn</p>
<p>Pretty even list I’d say. 
I was originally gonna apply to like 4 but thought that was too few, so I upped it to 6. Then to 8. Now 9. :D</p>
<p>Good luck everyone</p>
<p>I applied to two. One safety, one match. Got into both, going to the safety :).</p>
<p>Guys, in general, what do you say should be the min/max number in each category? Sadly, I only have 1 safety so far =[</p>
<p>Have at least 1 academic safety, 2 FINANCIAL safeties.
Generally, 3 safeties, 3 matches, 3 reaches is what you want.</p>
<p>3 safeties:</p>
<p>Pace, SUNY Stony Brook and maybe SUNY New Paltz</p>
<p>4 Matches:</p>
<p>Syrcause
George Washington University
Fordham University
Boston University</p>
<p>2 Reaches:</p>
<p>Boston College
NYU</p>
<p>1 Reach - McGill
1 Match - Concordia</p>
<p>Unfortunately there are only two english universities in Montreal 
So I don’t even have a safety</p>
<p>^^^you should try toronto too, it’s great</p>
<p>Domestic:
6 reaches
4 matches
1 safety
^^ I’m not actually applying to all of these, some will only happen if I get no acceptances EA.</p>
<p>International:
2 reaches
3 reach/match
^It’s harder to tell internationally. I know 5 additional seems insane, but my number one choice is Cambridge and it’s just as easy (in fact easier, since Cambridge is the only school I know of in England that requires something other than UCAS/British CommApp) to put 4 others on the application to give me a better chance of getting an offer.</p>
