It is surprising to me that a student only applied to 4 schools in this competitive academic climate.



Actually, one school is sufficient if the student’s first choice is an ironclad safety.

But any number of schools is insufficient if there are no ironclad safeties (unless the student’s ironclad safety is community college or some other school with a post-April admissions, financial aid, and scholarship deadline).
