| My D applied to 15 schools. Every single one is somewhere she feels she could be happy and where I'd be proud to have her attend. She can get herself to where she wants to be in life from every single one of them. We visited all but 2 of the 15.
Her list is long because she has a strong enough resume that we both thought it was important she never have to say "could I have gotten in to X if I applied?" That said, we didn't count on her getting into any of the top top schools she's applying to and made sure she was applying to a good selection of fit schools and some safeties.
I would also like to say that my oldest applied to 8 schools, and after watching him get rejected from more than one school where he absolutely fit by stats, we were a bit more paranoid this go round. |
