[quote=Anonymous]My first DS applied to 7 colleges, my second to 10 and my third, a HS senior, to 13. I think 10 was about right, spread out pretty evenly between safeties, matches and reach. Part of the reason my current high school senior applied to so many is he will need to be awarded merit aid if he attends out of state and we had no clue whether and how much he might get at many of the schools he was interested in. He also applied to a couple colleges that we'd likely never send him to but he insisted on applying. As it is turning out, so far he has been accepted with merit aid at some of his reaches but we did not expect that result. And about a third or more of the colleges he applied to waived or don't have an application fee so applying wasn't ridiculously expensive.[/quote]
