<p>pffft 15 is nothing; I’m applying to 17 and still living (barely). I bet a lot of those colleges have many supplement essays (Wake Forest has like 7), so if you haven’t gotten most of them done by now, I guess I understand why you need to chop down this list. But yeah, as above poster said, you are highly competitive at essentially all of them; visit their websites, and go with your gut.</p>
