<p>What I don’t understand (as a parent of a HS senior), is why you all apply to SO many schools. My daughter is applying to 3, with the UM application “in the mail” under EA this past weekend. Unless you’ve gotten some application waivers, it seems like most of the fees are around the $65-70 area, so to apply to 10 schools is a pretty good chunk of change. Seems to me that you could find 3 or 4 schools that are your top choices and apply there? Based on some of the testing stats you’ve provided, it seems like most of you would be accepted to almost all of the schools to which you’re applying.</p>
<p>Anyone want to help me understand? If not, have a great day anyway!!

<p>While I’m not applying to colleges (currently a sophomore at UM) I think most college counselors recommend that you apply to six (two safety, two fits, and two reaches). I applied to four, personally (one safety, two fits, one reach). I think one of the reasons people have is just to have the options available. Also, I think only one of the schools I applied to had $70 application fees and the rest were $30. But I agree, some people go overboard with applying to so many colleges. But I also know that my local school’s college counselor was rather generous with handing out those fee waivers, but I don’t know if that applies to most.</p>
<p>Also, applying to medical schools is 10x worse (I mention it because I’ve been thinking about this alot recently)! Most people apply to 10 or 15 medical schools, and each has an application fee around $150!</p>

<p>Yep! Everyone gets considered for merit based aid (above a certain cut off, I’d imagine). If you want need based aid you have to apply, though.</p>
