Is applying to only one school bad?

Another plan – apply early, then limit further applications to ‘dream schools’. If they come through with an acceptable fin aid package, fantastic!! If not, you still have your top choice.

<p>If MSU really is the top choice, then why apply anywhere else if the OP has an early acceptance with sufficient financial aid from MSU in hand?</p>

<p>Additional schools are only worth applying to if they are more desirable to the student than the safeties (any early acceptances with sufficient financial aid become safeties).</p>
