If you have a senior, how many schools did your kid apply to?
If you have a junior, how many are they planning on applying to? |

| 13, wish she’d done fewer in retrospect. It was too noisy, too much to think about. |

| Current junior. Only has 3 on his list now, but knows he needs to add a few more. Aiming for 5-6, I think. |

| I think mine will likely apply to four EA and then one or two ED and then five if none of those work out… time will tell. |

| Senior 24, applied to 5. 1 deliberately-chosen Ivy, 4 state flagships. Going to overall top choice U of M. Admitted to 4 flagships. Waitlisted Cornell. Did not send LOCI. Reasonable Cornell RD app. Might have had luck with WL but many students choose Michigan over Cornell (they have some key similarities - both schools are great - legacy ties to both). Parents felt student would be happier at U of M (probably easier with same amount of learning accomplished, closer to home, same pull in desired job markets). Pls do not say anything crappy in response about Cornell or Michigan - TIA. In retrospect, did not want Cornell enough to ED and therefore it made sense for Cornell to WL and check true level of interest. Huge cost difference for full-pay family. Maybe $200K. |

| Several picked Michigan over Cornell back in my day and I’m sure it still happens today-both amazing esp for STEM and engineering. |

| 7. All early. Would have added another 6 if hadn't gotten into ED school. |

| 82. But definitely not the norm. Attending Ivy in the fall. |

DC1 engineering/CS applied 7 EA, accepted 6 - 2 rolling safeties, 4 targets (had strong SAT), 1 reach
DC2 public policy/science applied 8 (4EA, 4RD) - 1 target, 7 reaches; accepted 2 EA, deferred 2 EA (which then ended up waitlist, accepted 3 of 4 RD Ivies. DC3 applied 3 - 1EA, 1ED, 1 rolling; accepted 2 (not the ED) If you have a realistic idea about actual chances and use EA/rolling/ED to good effect in the fall, you should have a few solid acceptances by January and not need to put in many/any applications for RD. |

Was this a typo? How was this even possible? Did your DC get fee waivers or ?? |

Not a typo. Fee waivers were used. |
