You applied to 20 schools? WHY[/quote]

Our kid (now in college) applied to four. Got into three. Picked one. Done. [/quote]

If you stick to 2 targets and 2 true safeties (or more safeties) then that strategy works.  But if you want to apply to several Reaches/High reaches, you have to include more.  Also, if very high stats, you need to[b] include more targets and safeties[/b] because you might be yield protected (WL/denied) because they assume you don't really want to attend.

Or if you are trying to fit a budget you may include more targets/safeties in search of better merit $$.

One of mine applied to 4 big public Us -- one in-state target, one in-state safety, two OOS safeties. Got in everywhere went to the target. By this time in senior year I think he'd only heard from two of the schools.

The mainly wanted to go to an OOS LAC so had 5 safeties (of varying level of perceived safety and varying levels of merit likelihood) plus an in-state reach. The safeties all ended up similar in cost after merit awards and it was good for her to have several to pick from. [/quote]
