My son thought he had to apply to more than 10 colleges because everyone he knew was doing it. But he liked only three schools, so I encouraged him to apply to just those three. People were horrified he wasn't applying to more, but he got into his dream school anyway. AdvertisementAdvertisementOne afternoon in the spring of 2022, my son Ben, a junior in high school, and I got back in the car after touring yet another college. When I asked him why he would apply if he didn't want to attend, Ben told me everyone he knew was applying to 12 to 15 schools.
