[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh. Admissions are so competitive around here that it can be good to apply widely, but the process is hugely time consuming. FWIW, DC’s k-8 recommended applying to 4-6 schools as a sweet spot and no more than 8. So your DC isn’t way off base, but trimming one or two could save a lot of effort. [/quote] Similar - we were encouraged to apply for 8. We applied for 5 and DD got into 3 and WL at one. She never made it off the wait list (that was her reach and #1), so she's at #2 and thriving. I'm actually happy she didn't get into her #1 as I think it would have been socially more difficult for us because we are not legacy or super rich (just moderately rich).[/quote]
