[quote=Anonymous]that is just crazy I applied to 7 schools and THAT was a lot in the 90s - got into 5. But I had a pretty balanced list of safeties and reaches (didn't get into the 2 Ivies-for the best in the end). The funny thing is I am taking way more time researching schools and programs for my rising junior than I EVER did for my own choices. My mom finds it very funny. I mean, I pretty much got whatever mailings I got, read through the stuff in the Top schools book and just kind of picked several. I think it is good to have a couple safeties. a couple pretty sures and a few reaches. Applying to nothing but reaches, even with perfect stats, is just not a good strategy and can lead to being rejected by all schools. A girl at my HS applied to 5 Ivies and then UNC-CH (she was a legacy, not our state school) - she only got into UNC out of all her applications. Granted, not a bad school at all, but it was a very stupid gamble.[/quote]
