What Colleges Have You Applied To or Are Planning Too?

[H. Ross Peron]

Considering its that time of the year again...

For me:
CSU Long Beach
CSU Fullerton
San Diego State University
Cal Poly SLO
UCLA
UC Berkeley
UC San Diego
UC Irvine
UC Santa Barbara
UC Davis
UC Santa Cruz
UC Riverside

And planning to apply to:
Brandeis University
Ohio State University
University of Southern California
Grinnell College
Macalester College
Lafayette College
Dickinson College
Connecticut College

Not sure in what combination of liberal arts colleges to apply to, however, so some of them may be dropped.

[tik 🪀✨]

I never ever had a list of colleges to apply to and I never applied to any.

I'm doing fine.

[Cassius]

In the UK context of universities, I applied to and have been given offers by:

Exeter University
Warwick University
Newcastle University
Cardiff University
Swansea University

So now I'm planning to accept the Exeter offer as my firm choice and Warwick as my reserve. If things go to plan.

[Talleyrand]

Due to the automatic acceptance policy it has, I will almost certainly be attending the University of Texas at Austin, and I'm pretty impressed with its academics and general atmosphere so I don't really see myself applying anywhere else (with the possible exception of Rice University).

That's way, way too many.  You are insane.

[DC Al Fine]

Back in the day I applied to:

Concordia University
Dalhousie University
Mount Allison University
Saint Mary's University

And ilikeverin is right Mung Beans, that's a ridiculous number.

Indeed.  5 is plenty

[Hash]

I applied to the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and Queen's University back in 2009. I was accepted to all three and chose the first one.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Definitely applying:
Millersville University (Millersville, PA)
Clarion University (Clarion, PA)
Indiana University of Pennsylvania (Indiana, PA)

Less likely:
Keene State College (Keene, NH)
Johnson State College (Johnson, VT)
Seton Hall University (South Orange, NJ)

Not likely at all, but might:
St. John's University (Queens, NY)

[TNF]

I applied to Murray State University and the University of Louisville. Got accepted to both, went to the former.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Applied To (I think)
Albion College
Alma College
Hillsdale College
Holy Cross College
Michigan State University
Oakland University
University of Detroit, Mercy
University of Michigan

Accepted:
Albion College
Alma College
Holy Cross College
Michigan State University
Oakland University
University of Detroit, Mercy

Came down to Alma and UDM, chose UDM.

[free my dawg]

I applied to Millersville University (see R2's post) and I go there now. I also applied to the University of Southern Maine but my guidance department f***ed up all the other apps.

Oh, I applied to considerably more than that. Every University of California campus uses the same application, so applying to each one simply means checking a box.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I applied to:
Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Princeton
UPenn
Northwestern
Vanderbilt
Emory
Duke
Georgetown
Johns Hopkins
Virginia
William and Mary
Michigan

I got into Michigan, W&M, UVA, Hopkins, and Emory, and now attend UVA.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

It struck me that I'm actually a prospective student again as I start applying to teachers' colleges. I've applied to four schools. Here's the order of preference:

University of Toronto
Queen's University
Trent University
Lakehead University

The bottom two are my safety schools, but I wouldn't be surprised if I end up having to go to one of them. Whatever. Most of the teachers I know actually did go to Lakehead, so I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world...

[Hifly]

You're lucky you Americans get to apply to so many- in the UK you can only apply for a maximum of five!

[bullmoose88]

The OP applied to my alma mater. Better be rich or get plenty of aid.

[H. Ross Peron]

I'm guessing its either Lafayette or Dickinson (going by your avatar)? Yeah, I ran it through a financial aid calculator-I wanted to apply Gettysburg too because of its location but I found it too expensive even with aid.

The former. I didn't like Carlisle much when I toured the latter's campus.

[Del Tachi]

Mississippi State University - accepted, attended
Purdue University - accepted
Penn State - accepted
Cornell University - wait listed
Georgetown - denied

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Naugatuck Valley Community College (Waterbury, CT) - accepted
Morehead State University (Morehead, KY) - waiting (?)
Texas Christian University (Fort Worth, TX) - waiting (?)
Catawba College (Salisbury, NC) - accepted, full scholarship
Piedmont College (Demorest, GA) - accepted, full scholarship

Currently deciding between the last two.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

For financial reasons and admittedly a feeling that I wasn't entirely mentally ready for college, I'm going to a local community college for a year and applying next fall, looking at:

University of Pittsburgh
American University
Duquesne University
George Washington University
Bucknell University

You nutsack. Come to Millersville and hang with Sawx and I

[Miles]

LSU
Tulane
Loyola (New Orleans)
UNC- Charlotte
UNC- Chapel Hill
Davidson College
Fordham

I was accepted to all except Davidson (which I considered a long shot in the first place) and UNC-Chapel Hill (I was rejected despite having the necessary SATs and GPA; hence the start of my grudge against UNC).
