You have to be smart about it.
You’re not getting in BUT I think it’s fine that you apply. You have 20 common app spots - you need one that’s affordable and an assured entry, preferably 2-3.
But you SHOULDN’T apply to Bowdoin or Yale (very different schools btw) - if you cannot afford them.
You say you saved money for about 15 apps - that tells me you have need.
Please have your family fill out the net price calculator i put in for Bowdoin in message 2.
If it comes back and says you are full pay or it will cost you $60K a year and you can only afford $35K - then it would be wasteful to apply.
Why? You couldn’t go if you got in (they have no merit aid) - so there’s nothing worse than getting into a dream school and not being able to attend due to affordabilty.
So you have to add that level of realism too.
Good luck.
