[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our guidance director said to aim for 6 applications (2 reach, 2 match, 2 sure things). Where are people getting the idea that 15-20 is needed? Do they just want to say their kid got into 10 schools?[/quote] DC is a senior this year and he applied to 4. He applied to a safety that was a rolling admission. So he found out in October that he was accepted there and then just applied to three others. One was his first choice. He got into his first choice in Dec. We are still waiting for one, but it will be anti-climatic as he has accepted the offer from his first choice. I think if you tailor it right, the student doesn't have to apply tons of schools. Find a good safety and apply EA/ED to your first choice. Then hone down the rest to a few. The cynic in me thinks the College Board is fueling the mania- they earn money every time a student applies to a school after the first three. [/quote]
