How many schools have you applied to?
I lost count, but it's around 45 and counting. Spent about $900 so far...

45 is an absurd amount. Do you have any location/ranking preferences?lsatextreme wrote:I lost count, but it's around 45 and counting. Spent about $900 so far...

TBF, I think I applied to way too many schools (25), so that biases my response.

Only 5, but that's because of fee waivers. I've already decided where Im going, just applies other places for scholarship leverage.

10, although in hindsight it should have been 3, maybe 4. Fee waivers help.

25. In retrospect, I would have done around 15.

but man, that's pretty pricey for just 14 apps. No waivers?

I haven't applied yet, but I had a list of 22 schools that I was really going to apply to that is now at 14. 3.37 / 168. I'm crying every night trying to get my PS respectable. I want to send out apps by Friday... though I keep on saying that

Re: How many schools have you applied to?
I applied to 15, only had to pay for 3.
I thought 15 was a lot, but it's good to see some of you guys have me beat!

I applied to 15. Everyone keeps telling me I'm crazy and OCD, but clearly I'm not alone. It's those stupid fee waiver emails that get me everyday! Makes me want to apply to more.

Re: How many schools have you applied to?
I applied to 16 schools. Initially I thought this was a lot, but I guess it isn't compared to the rest of you. 45 applications!

14, half of those apps covered by fee waivers. Thank the baby jesus in his crib sucking on his pacifier for fee waivers!

Re: How many schools have you applied to?
I was originally going to do 15, but after I thought about some of the schools, I realized I wouldn't be happy if accepted there. So, I narrowed my list to 10.

Re: How many schools have you applied to?
I'm glad to see other people applied to 10+ schools. I was seriously worried I was crazy/throwing away money!
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
