[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you really think you’ll just get into 1?[/quote] Don’t know! I don’t know my chances because it’s so random. But I know my chances are higher with every app I put in. [/quote] That’s not how statistics work. Your stats at each individual school are not affected by how many *other* schools your kids is applying to. My high-stats, niche field, great ECs kid is applying to 2 safeties (RD), 2 targets (1 EA, 1 RD) and 5 reaches (3 EA, 2 RD). In the practical sense, I wonder if your kid would really be *happy* at 20 schools? If not, their final choice will be clouded by so many meh choices at the end of the cycle. 20 apps seems unfocused. [/quote] Chances at one school aren’t affected by number of apps. But chances of acceptance at any of one a set of schools is obviously affected by how many schools are in the set. [/quote]
