I applied to three. All state schools, as my parents didn't contribute anything to my college expenses so I figured I couldn't afford a private school. But who knows - maybe I would have gotten enough financial aid....
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, I only applied to two (Marquette and my back-up, Univ of IL Champaign-Urbana). I did fill out about half of the application for Yale, and considered applying to Lehigh as well, but ended up not even getting the application from them.

When I applied to colleges (graduated high school in 1999), I applied to 11, which, for my school (suburban NJ school where something like 95% of students went on to 4-year college), was a high number, but not ridiculously so. My sister, four years ahead of me, applied to 14, which was considered a bit excessive. I'm pretty sure that, in that town, somewhere between 10 and 15 is now pretty standard
Good lord.
I applied to six and a half (I only half count applying to IU, because it was very half-ass and I had no intention of going there--if I'd actually ended upt here, I'd have been pissed I wasn't in any of the fancy honors stuff I didn't apply to!). Six was the most you could fill out on the FAFSA without having to request additional stuff, so...
I just got the job offer! I am less thrilled than expected, because they offered on the low end of the salary range. Sigh.

But still yay, right?
Can you ask for more money before you accept?

Wow- I am delurking in Bitches just to say that as a 1991 graduate, we were advised to apply to THREE colleges, a long-shot, an average, and a back-up. I applied to 4 and every one thought I was crazy!

feh for low-end of salary range but YAY for offer!!! Are you in a position to negotiate?
I applied to 5 schools and got into all of them and then realized I should have been more ambitious. Except I'm glad I ended up where I did because Yay my college friends!

Unfortunately K-Bug is in this boat, but her #1 school is private and pricey. I've been trying to encourage her to fill out a grand/scholarship application a week - there are so many out there - but so far she has done nothing.
Meara - was the offer from the SF job?

I don't even remember what they told us.
I ended up going to a school only an hour away, so I could come home to see my girlfriend.
Big mistake....

I seem to remember this same advice in 1985. I applied to 3ish...don't really remember. I got in where I wanted and only lasted about 3 months. Ah well.
