<p>Pffffft. </p>
<p>Eight applications? With eight thoughtful essays? For a boy? Dream on–unless one of the apps is the UK UCAS app–six schools in ONE app, woot woot.</p>
<p>Even with a four app limit, a boy can throw in a reach school IF he has one absolute safety (+60% acceptance) and two solid matches (+40% acceptance) in the mix. Both of mine made a run at super reach schools. One now attends his super crazy reach and one attends one of his matches.</p>
<p>You can’t get doubles if you don’t roll the dice, baby.</p>
