Is it worthwhile to pay a large application fee to a school you might not get into?

I'm thinking of applying to several schools with a 15% or lower acceptances rates, and their application fees are quite high. Should I only apply to a few of these schools or maybe just one? #school #fee

I would apply to the schools that i want to go to. My daughter apply to a lot of schools and what she did was pick her top tier schools to apply. I would ask your school if the have applications waivers that you can get and apply to the school that way.

Hi Regina!

I would seriously think on if its worth it to apply to so many top tier schools. It stretches you thin and makes you work less on your application and might hurt your chances on all your schools. I would settle for a couple of reaches and really just focus on honing your app.

In all honesty, most colleges are fine and the difference between a top tier university and a big public school at times can be quite small. In industry, it really just comes down to personal ability. Good luck!
