[quote=Anonymous]One thing to keep in mind is that even top 10 SLACs really care about demonstrated interest. My DC was mostly focused on SLACs, and the number of webinars, webchats, etc in the fall of senior year was overwhelming even with a small list of about 10 schools. I also think fit is important in supplemental for many schools. I think it’s better to do fewer apps but really do them well and show them the love rather than scattershot. How many apps your kid has the energy to do well depends on the kid, but I can’t imagine 20 apps if Ivies with many essays and/or SLACs requiring a lot of DI and tailoring of essays are mixed in. There may be larger schools with no supplementals and where DI doesn’t matter where it is more manageable, but most kids at my DCs private stayed at around 12.[/quote]
