College applications are a whole different ballgame.

Tabulating Senusret's list and adding at least 1 school from NY, he applied to 10 or more colleges/universities. This is definitely a generational phenomenon. When I applied to colleges in the early 80s, the college counselors were recommending 5 applications. 2 reaches, 2 matches and 1 safety. A couple of decades + later, my D was applying to schools and HER CC said the average hs student applied to 8 for a breakdown of 3 reaches, 3 matches, and 2 safeties.
