How many colleges did you apply to?

[Chris Phillips]

Just wanted to get an idea on how many colleges high school students are applying to these days.

I think 6 is a good amount. Choose your top 3 schools and then 3 backups.

Those application fees really suck though.

I would say that is a nice amount as well. Make sure to lix in schools you know you will get into and others that are your goals.

i applied to 27, so im probably the wrong person to ask haha

[Chris Phillips]

Are you serious? You applied 27 schools?

Can you explain why?
What criteria did you use to select the 27 schools?
Did it work out (did you pick the right school)?
