8 Ivies + T15 = 23 applications.

Once you start crafting that many essays, you might change your mind about applying to so many schools.

Also: “showing interest” – traveling and taking part in 23 schools’ tours and programs …

Cost of applying = $60 * 23 = $1380 for crap shoot.

I think that once people start really looking at what the costs are to shotgunning, they start weeding out the list to schools they might want to attend for reasons other than just Brand Name.
