[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our guidance counselor recommended 8-10. I regret following that advice. It was a lot of work while child was trying to keep up with their schoolwork, have college interviews, etc. 
It also made us consider schools we were somewhat lukewarm about.  Oh, it it costs $ also (sending scores, application fees, visits).

I suggest you do 7:   2 reach, 3 target, and 2 safety. Use Naviance to keep you realistic. That is plenty.

My child--who is no superstar--has gotten into 5 already, and we have 3 more to hear from. That complicates the decision, and means we will be attending several "admitted students" days next month, while his high school is in session. 7 is plenty.[/quote]

naviance must make race and recruiting status transparent if schools expect people to use it as a tool to accurately gauge the data.

i applied to 7 in 2001/2002. Today, my younger cousins and their friends are applying to 15-25. [/quote]

This is true. The data in ours is all over the place. Without stats like race, recruits, course rigor, I can’t tell what’s what. [/quote]
