<p>This is a question on many college supplements</p>
<p>Do we truly need to put ALL the other colleges we are applying to (likelys,possibles, reaches
)?
Im worried ALL might seem pretentious and if I don't put ALL it might seem odd...</p>
<p>Thoughts and responses on this question would be much appreciated</p>
<p>My advice is to list 2-3 colleges - and make sure they are lower or equal choices in terms of prestige or selectivity. In other words - if you are answering this question on a school that is your safety school - don’t give that info away. List other schools that are similar - don’t list Harvard and Yale!</p>
<p>I agree with rockvillemom. They’re never going to find out if you’ve “lied” by not putting down all your colleges, and you could always use the excuse “I decided to add that college after I sent in your app!” if they attempt to give you any trouble. Or maybe you “forgot” to put one in. Etc.</p>
