20 EA - 2 Rejections (1 of them was a Defer turned Reject; DC didn't bother to respond with a LOCI); 1 WL; 17 Acceptances
2 RD - 2 Acceptances
WTF. 22!
22 is not that uncommon. 20 on common app and the rest direct?

8 apps, 1 ED
Admitted to 6
WL at 2 (including ED school)
Applied to 7 large publics, and 1 smaller private.
Attending smaller private (and now realizes should have applied to more because priorities/preferences changed). Also, never visited 2 of the schools which were basically additional safeties. She eliminated them from consideration early on and it would have been fine if she had never applied.

10 applications. No ED.
1 rolling admission, admitted in October.
6 EA, but tech theater which required an interview at most schools and a portfolio submission.
3 RD
Results:
Admitted: 7 (waitlisted for Honors College at 1)
Waitlist: 3
Rejections: 0. (DD was very happy about this.)

Overwhelmingly, the shotgun approach results in acceptances to a bunch of mediocre schools. Well-crafted applications submitted to fewer schools is a much better approach if applying to selective colleges. Both our kids applied ED to selective universities, and it was one and done.
