Hi everyone! I'm a junior considering applying to SUNY schools next year. I'm not sure how many I should apply to, so I'm wondering if there's a limit on the number of SUNY schools you can apply to? Thanks a lot!
Hello! There isn't a specific limit on the number of SUNY (State University of New York) schools you can apply to. It's more about finding the right balance between the number of schools and your personal preferences. When applying to colleges, it's a good idea to have a mix of "safety," "match," and "reach" schools to maximize your chances of receiving acceptance letters while also managing your time and application fees.
For SUNY schools, start by researching which campuses offer majors and programs that interest you along with considering factors such as location, size, and campus culture. This can help you create a list of the most relevant schools which may match your interests and needs.
As you finalize your list of SUNY schools, also remember to include non-SUNY schools so that you have a balanced set of options. A reasonable number of total college applications would typically be between 8 and 15, but these numbers can vary based on your individual circumstances. Good luck with your applications!
