[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Whats wrong with being indecisive. There’s 17. And in the middle of a pandemic and they haven’t even been in school in months and months and months. Let them apply to as much as they can handle if they choose and if you have the money for the apps. Why the big deal?[/quote]

Because it is stressful to have too many options.

Will likely result to them having Admitted Student Day invitations that will conflict with senior call commitments/homework.

Just make a nice, tight list now. Don't kick the can down the road. [/quote]

Might work for generic/low demand majors.  Bad advice if you are applying to in-demand majors.  Some kids get into Georgia Tech and not into Purdue for CS (Tech is a higher ranked school).  With this type of uncertainty, why take chances.  When someone applies to 17 schools, they likely have ranking in their mind and will likely pick the best school they get into.  Why would it be any more work than applying for 6 or 10?[/quote]

Your last question has already been asked and answered. If you are rankings-driven, I can see that we have little in common. [/quote]

That was a rhetorical question. not really looking for an answer.  [/quote]
