Shotgunning—I'm very confused

I think you really need to research colleges well and figure out which ones are the “best fit” in three areas: financially, academically, and socially.

Many students just apply to “ivies” without thinking if they are really the best fit for them and shotgunning doesn’t really improve their odds of acceptance to any one of them.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to go to a “top college” but you need to make sure of two things: the college is a great fit for you and you are a great fit for the college?
