<p>Asking out of curiosity and nothing on TV.</p>
<p>Number of schools: 11; 3-instate, 8 OOS Privates
Reaches: 8
Matches: zero, since I'd be more than happy to go to one of my safety schools. (So it would seriously suck if I didn't get in.)
Safeties: 3 plus 1 (I'm guaranteed into a UC, which will probably be Riverside or Merced.)</p>
<p>I probably have 2.5 reaches and 3.5 matches. No safeties so far.</p>
<p>4 safeties
3 matches
4 reaches</p>
<p>so about a 1:1:1 ratio, I guess</p>
<p>5 Reaches (3 Ultra Reaches)
4 Matches
4 Safeties</p>
<p>3 reaches
4-6 matches (honestly I haven't completely finalized my list)
like 5 safeties LOL. I'm really paranoid.....</p>
<p>I used to think it was:</p>
<p>1 reach
1 match
3 safeties</p>
<p>Then, I realized it'd be more like:</p>
<p>2 reaches
3 safeties</p>
<p>Now, with calculus being a bi****tch, I'm starting to think it's more like:</p>
<p>2 impossibles
3 matches</p>
<p>GAH!</p>
<p>Exactly what I feel now, yawn, but one class shouldn't make a difference unless you're failing.</p>
<p>A C in a 5-unit course, as oppose to an A in that same course, would bring me down from a 3.74 to a 3.60. >_<</p>
<p>And now it's looking unlikely that I'll even get a C. :(</p>
<p><em>should have taken calculus three years ago, instead of having a gap</em></p>
<p>I'm something like:</p>
<p>3 Safeties
3 Matches
1 Reach</p>
<p>Should I apply to more than one reach school?
I guess you never know until you try.
What do you guys think?</p>
<p>4 reach 3 match 2 safeties...if i get stuck at my safeties i might kill myself...dam economy</p>
<p>tawo, I think you should go for it. Looking back on these threads, people seemed to regret not applying to more reach schools. I found two safeties I really liked and am nearly positive I will get into, and then I applied to all reaches.</p>
<p>yawn, I'm sorry. =( Hopefully it works out!</p>
<p>12 total
9 reaches
1 match
2 safeties - already accepted to one with a full ride hence the low amount of matches/safeties</p>
<p>2 Reaches
3 matches
2 safeties-1 instate, 1 OOS public (full tuition already in)</p>
<p>It depends.</p>
<p>If I get in SCEA, then one more reach and one safety here in Canada.
If I get deferred/rejected, five more reaches and three safeties in Canada (mostly for $$$)</p>
<p>4 reaches
1 match
6 safeties</p>
<p>4/4/2
(Duke, Yale, Columbia, Williams)/(Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Whitman, Rice)/(UMD - CP, U Miami)</p>
<p>My counselor says about 10 in total- 3 in each category, plus 1 extra.</p>
<p>My list:
2 true safeties
3 safeties/matches (technically "matches", but my counselor says I have a pretty good shot at getting in)
4 matches (might not apply to one of them)
2 reaches (might not apply to one of them)
2 far reaches</p>
<p>You seriously think Dartmouth is a match school? You must be a stellar applicant... </p>
<p>If I don't get into my ED school.. then I'll probably apply to 3 reaches, 2 matches, and a super-safety.</p>
<p>2 reaches
5 possibles
2 likelys
2 safeties. Hopefully I'll get into one of my possibles though.</p>
<p>4 Reaches
