<p>Hey guys! I'm pretty new to this site, but so far I've found lots of good advice. I just had one question: In your opinion, what is a good ratio for the number of schools you should apply to? Some people apply to a lot of safeties and maybe only one reach school, while some people do the opposite. So in your opinion, when applying to colleges, how many safeties would you apply to? Matches? Reaches?</p>
<p>I think it depends on how confident you are that you’ll be accepted to your safeties, matches and reaches. If a person thinks that they have a really good application then they’ll probably have more reaches then a person who’s unsure of themself. Personally, I’m most likely going to have about 2 safeties, around 4 matches and 3 reaches. Filling out applications is hard work =P</p>
