I just got an acceptance letter from London College of Communication, for Marketing and Advertising. That was my back up school for London College of Fashion... Now I'm confused.

LCF for Fashion Journalism or LCC for Marketing and Advertising? I love fashion but marketing seems more broad and practical... what to do?

that's kind of my problem too..i've applied for both journalism at LCF and fashion marketing...i do love journalism but i think there's more i can do with the other BA. i don't know!!!!

17?! Why so many?

I only applied to 7. I think that's a good number. 2 safeties, 2 good matches, 2 reaches, and 1 super reach.

I also didn't have the money to apply to that many schools. XD;

^My parents really wanted me to apply to a bunch of schools. I applied to about 30% safeties, 50 good matches, and 20% reaches. But both my fields are so competitive I knew it would be difficult/totally random to tell where I would get in. Most of the kids at my school applied to around 15.
But a girl at my school applied to 22... thats the most I've heard so far. Considering the average application fee is about $70, thats about $1550 in application fees.

I only applied to 3!
I made sure to do my research and narrow down my choices. I don't want to move out of the city to attend university, and out of the 4 universities here, I only like 2 of them, so I applied to 2 programs at one (Ryerson), and 1 program at the other (University of Toronto.)

Btw, what is a "reach"?

 

[KhaoticKharma]

Btw, what is a "reach"?

I don't know if you do this in Canada, but here in the states, most guidance counselors classify colleges into three categories.


Safeties- Pretty self explanitories; schools the applicant pretty much knows they'll get in to.

Good Matches- Schools that the applicant is pretty sure they'll get into, one where the average student had a high school GPA and got SAT scores close to that college's average.

Reach- For most of us, this is Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. Schools that are darn near impossible to get into, but really interest the applicant.

AHHH wtf?!!!

And then there's the super! reach where we know we won't get in, but it doesn't hurt to apply anyway!.

22?! Why would someone do that to themselves?

I applied to about 7 (4 UC schools) before I got in ED to my college. But if I hadn't it would have been 13. At my school it's weird to apply to more than 9 or 10. Our college counselors are really against it.

 

[eternitygoddess]

got waitlisted at one of my cores.does not bode well for reaches. Hopefully it's Tufts Syndrome, which school X has been known to display.

 

[Sweet Jane]

^really? My college counselor generally tells everyone to apply to about 12-13. I go to an arts school, so most of the theatre majors at my school apply to about 15 schools just because the programs are so competitive and its impossible to figure out if you'll get into any of the really good schools. The girl who applied to 22 was a theatre major but I think she applied to 4 or 5 UCS... still, I don't know why she applied to so many, I haven't met anyone else who applied to that many...
I narrowed down my search a lot but out of my 17 there's really only about 7 I actually want to go to... the rest are a bunch of safeties/good matches I was semi sure I would get into and backups in case I don't get into my top seven (none of which I've heard from yet! boo).

i applied only 2 fashion schools in germany and both said YES to me

 

[superbeautiful]

Wow 17 schools. I only applied to 4. One safety, One school my parents wanted me to go apply to, and two schools I really wanted to get into one of which included a high reach school. I didn't want to waste my time and money on schools that I didn't want to go to.
