POLL: How many colleges will you apply to?

<p>There's lots of time before final apps are due at most colleges, but what is your best guess as to the number of colleges you'll apply to?</p>

<p>16 colleges pour moi</p>

<p>Why do some people apply to so many colleges??</p>

<p>why do some people apply to such a small number of colleges?</p>

<p>Is it alright to count colleges that you got into and were already accepted over the summer? (St. John's College in Annapolis, MD has rolling admission.) I counted it and voted 9 :P</p>

<p>Probably in the range of 6-8.</p>

<p>I'm applying to 10. I'm considered an international student because I don't have permanent residency, so I need to apply to a range of schools to make sure I get in somewhere.</p>

<p>I applied to 5 colleges :)</p>

<p>crazy how the majority is at 10+ schools</p>

<p>its cuz if u only apply to a few, and only get into ur safeties, then u have no choice but to go 2 of of them, as opposed to applying to many, more reach and match schools, so that u can have the opportunity to go there instead of ur safety school</p>

<p>my school caps at 7 applications, but any one can have up to 6 schools (UC and SUNY systems), so the real total we're limited to is like 26. In terms of individual private college applications (liek Common App/standalones, Ivy League and Top 30) we're limited to an early action/early decision and 6 other regular decision (RD) schools, or just 7 RD apps.</p>

<p>I'm applying to 7 RD schools, namely Harvard College (FAS), Columbia College, Cornell College of Arts and Sciences, Johns Hopkins School of Science, Carnegie Mellon School of Science, New York University College of Arts and Sciences and UPitt Honors College. Woot, go me!</p>

<p>7-8 at most</p>

<p>Currently the number is at 11 but if I get into my EA school it'll go down to 5 (1 EA, 1 interim, 1 state school, and two RD)</p>

<p>Currently 13 but if accepted EA, probably around 5-6 (including my EA school and my safety - already accepted there).</p>

<p>Currently 11 or 12. I might not apply ED.
I'm intel so yeah I need a lot of schools on my list.</p>

<p>even dozen :)</p>

<p>At least 10 for me.</p>

<p>applying to 6: 5 UCs, one private.</p>

<p>That's a lot of colleges and application fees. I applied to one college last year.</p>

<p>seahawk, did u get into that college??</p>

<p>did u do regular decision for that one?</p>
