How many applications?

Rising senior. Will likely have around 6. 1-2 EAs, 1 ED1 with a ED2 backup ready. Maybe 2 RDs.

Rising senior. "Low academic". Will apply to 4. Safeties for virtually everyone else. Not joking. Hopefully can land one.

11 total - 2 safeties, 3 targets, 6 reaches (all reaches <20% acceptance)
Accepted to all safeties and targets, and 2 reaches. Will attend one of the reaches ( was deferred ed and then accepted rd!)

These stats sound like my junior...what were the reaches?

Rising senior. 3 on her list, including one rolling and one ED. If she doesn't get into the rolling one, she'll need to add more.

That's my kid too. I appreciate that we can keep the insanity to a minimum.

If you have a junior, how many are they planning on applying to?

1 EA to a T10
11 RD (6 to T10s, 4 to T20s, 1 safety)

Current senior. 25 apps. I’m at 5 T20; WL - 3. In at too many safeties.

Riding senior. Trying to limit to 20 + UCs.

Applied to 11
accepted: 7 (3 early acceptances, 4 after being deferred)
denied: 4 ( 2 immediate no, 2 denied after efereral)

it felt like a good mix of reach, likely, safety

We are in VA. In-state alone is 4 apps (1 reach, 2 maybe targets & 1 likely). I'm actually not sure how to classify W&M. The rest are up in the air, but I think there will probably be 2 more each of reaches, targets and likelies. I think DC will end up with 10-12.

Wow. That's still a lot. We were considering UCs, but my DC is only mildly interested in 1 UC and another app with numerous essays makes it less compelling.
