[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, my partner and I didn't study in the U.S.A. so we are in new territory to what seems a very complicated process concerning College. I know every student is different and every school is as well, however what is the average number of colleges a student applies to? I've heard 3 to 5 but I've also heard 25. Our kid is a sophomore so the school will give us time to talk to the counselor next year. I know families may hire a private counselor for this in addition to the school's.

The first gen immigrant families I know that have hired college counselors have been very happy to have someone to guide them through the process. If you can afford it, I would consider it. With schools going test optional (and the subsequent extreme increase in applications), kids who are shooting for top schools (and by this I mean T-30ish) are applying to more schools than the traditional 7-10. I'd say that for the last couple cycles it has been more like 12-14 or more. It is a lot harder to identify "Target" schools in the test optional world. [/quote]
