If I apply to 4 thousand colleges in North America and in Europe will I at least get accepted into 11?
Q. I am in the tenth standard of the national institute of open schooling (NOS) and my extra curricular activities are a certificate in medical transcription, multimedia, advanced chess, and swimming. And I am planning to apply to four thousand colleges in North America and Europe. Will I get accepted into at least 11?
Asked by Imran Z - Wed Aug 19 16:06:37 2009 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Good luck with that. A much better option would be to talk to a college counselor and just find 11 universities to apply to. You're only going to 1 university right? Unless your secret identity is superman, and you are planning to get 11 simultaneous degrees from Harvard, Oxford, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Duke, Julliard, MIT, Ivy tech CC, Cornell, and Penn. Also, keep in mind you need to write an essay for each college and submit like 200$ to each school as an application fee.
