College Search & Selection

<p>I'm in the Midwest, I use the ACT. The ACT isn't as strict, especially since my school is a certified testing site. They're top 50 schools, but not top 25.</p>

<p>i'm applying to 13 or 14... about 7 are reach schools and you basically have to apply to like all the reach schools/Ivies to ensure that you'll even get into one.. even then, it's not guaranteed.. 6 are semi-reach/matches, and 1 is a safety</p>

<p>LOL I forgot I even made this thread.</p>

<p>I was wondering if there was some kind of "Guinnes World Record" for most college applications. Thus far, our Romanian friend seems to have claimed it.</p>

<p>I'm looking at over 10 but under 20. Though if I have some "free" time. . .(devious grin)</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, for those of you who are applying to over a dozen schools, how did your counselor react? Were they irritated by it? I haven't told my counselor yet how many schools I'll be applying to, and I have a feeling he's anticipating a lot fewer schools!</p>

<p>my counselor just shrugged and said she was glad i applied to some safety/match schools lol</p>
