  5. How many schools should I apply to? • “Dream School” • Likely—a pretty good chance of getting in • Safety—a sure thing for admission and cost • Ultimately, deciding how many schools to apply to is a family decision. However, counselors generally recommend to consider applying to one to two schools in each category.

  6. Early Action vs. Early Decision • Both good ideas if you really like a particular school • Early Decision is BINDING, must withdraw other applications if accepted • Early Action is not binding, and you can apply early to various schools • All schools policies may vary so you must research!
