With the common app limit, how do you apply to this many?


The common App gives you 20 chances. I don’t get why some parents don’t use all 20 chances. Plus not every school uses the App. And you can get the application fee waived (if qualify).

No, it’s not too many.

Admissions is test-optional now.

Look at your schools’s Naviance or SCOIR data for your student for the most realistic picture. Nobody’s gonna make you a college list for each band of GPA and also, GPAs are not the same across school districts.
