Will be applying to 15 schools, with an extra program at one making it 16 applications. One ED and one EA. But 6 other kids at my school are applying ED to Penn (the most they've had ED from my school there in a looooong time). So chances are I won't get in, but oh well, I can dream.

Thanks Mizzbee! What a sense of relief! She just hit "submit" to Miami and Hiram sans art supplement. We are waiting for dance teacher rec.& I don't think the dancing will be a big deal there. She needs it for American, St. Lawrence though.

Congrats on IU! My S was also accepted at IU last week. First reply, so happy it was an acceptance! He has applied to 8, the waiting was killing him. So nice to know he already has one great school to pick from. Did you apply to many others? S applied to mostly Midwest schools, 6 of the 8. Where are you from? We are in the Northeast, S wants out of the region for sure.

I have 10 schools on my list this year. It's rather unconventional because there are 2 schools located overseas - University of Cambridge (UK) and McGill (in Canada).

Otherwise, the rest of my finalized list includes Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, UPenn, Duke, Northwestern, and Dartmouth. I realize they're all very competitive. In the worst case scenario, I'd just end up going to McGill since I'm a Canadian citizen. :P

D just accepted to Wittenberg University today! Sorry, I tried to update the list and put my name ahead of Mizzbee - out of order.

I have applied to 9 schools already and I can already feel the strain on the wallet. Even though only 3 of the schools had application fees; the test scores and transcript fees do add up. I still have 13 more schools to go; thankfully 8 schools will have fee waivers and 7 of them are UCs so they only take 1 test score for all of them
