In addition, college applications take time. Even if you apply to schools that accept the Common Application or the Coalition Application, you will often need to write supplementary essays for many schools. Finally, sometimes a student will have very specific needs that automatically narrow the college list to just a few colleges. For example, if you need to live at home during college, you might simply apply to the colleges within commuting distance.
The same is true if you are considering a super unique major or field of study. If you are set on attending a particularly selective college and you are up for the cost and time commitment of more applications, applying to more schools is worthwhile.
On the other hand, if you have highly unique needs or parameters for a college, you might not be able to find that suit your needs. Submitting applications to schools you have no interest in attending serves no purpose other than saying you applied to the recommended number of colleges. Instead, we recommend that you search for as many schools as possible that fit your unique needs and priorities, then narrow the list if necessary.
