How Many Colleges Should You Apply To?

April 13, 2008

By summer, you want to have a variety of colleges that your child can apply to. I have read that the average student will apply to six schools. Some apply to more, and some to less. No matter how many there are, make sure you apply to a variety. At least one college should be a “safety” school, where you are certain to get in. One should be a “stretch” where you are less qualified and unlikely to get in. At least two should be a perfect fit.

How many colleges are your kids planning to apply to? What are your most important criteria?
