<p>I know the competition is steeper than ever. Still, I was surprised when a friend told me today there were numerous students in this year's senior class who had applied to 30+ schools. (My d is a junior; she hopes to narrow down to 5 schools).</p>
<p>So seniors, just curious, to how many schools did you apply ?</p>
<p>1 ED (Columbia, accepted), 3 UC's (Berkeley, LA, Irvine), 3 Privates (Dartmouth, Boston College, USC), and 1 CSU (Cal Poly). I had a bunch left over, which I filled out but waited until I heard from Columbia to submit, which saved me a ton of money.</p>
<p>Lol, I applied to like 4 schools. 2 were safeties, 1 was match, and 1 was reach. I just didnt see the need to apply to so much schools. They are $50 each.</p>
