<p>I agree with hockey21. Apply to as many BS’s as possible. No applicant knows exactly what the winning combination is at each BS. There is great safety in numbers, however. </p>
<p>Last year, my son applied to 10 BS’s. We knew that he would get in some and not in others. But then we just absolutely knew that he would be accepted in one certain school (he wasn’t) and knew for sure that there was no way that another school would ever accept him (it did and he now attends that school). So dive into as many pools as you can, swim as hard as possible and then wait to see how you finish each race. You will be surprised, stunned, pleased, confused, mad, sad, excited, happy, and dizzy on March 10. It is sort of like all of your prior life crammed into one day. Fun but scary.</p>
