Because of my low PAT scores(15), I m trying to apply 22 schools. Do u think it is going to have bad impression on admission officers ? they will think that I didn't do any research or don't know which one is my dream school, stuff like that.......reply me asap...thanks a lot......

I think during an interview, they might ask "How many schools did you apply to?" And then when you say "22", they're definitely not going to stop there....They'll ask "why" and saying because you got a 15 on the PAT might not be the greatest answer. If you're going to apply to 22 schools, I think you should do lots and lots of research about why those schools so you can justify yourself....just in case the above scenario comes true. As for the whole "dream school" thing, don't worry cuz we all know that not everyone will get into their dream school

Thanks a lot for reply. Can I delete some schols after retaking DAT in Nov. I live in CA ie. why I applied 5CA schools nearby my home even though there is no chances to get in...Besides, I looked at schools who will give more admissions to out of state like Massachusetts, tufts, uni of michiganor, penny. and have low pat like howard, columb, univ. of louis..
Can I tell something like what do I like about their campuses and other stupid stuff like I decided to go to NY because some of my friends are there or Nevada one bcz of closer to CA state and Nebraska to get an opprotunity to do reseach and get more hands on bcz they have their own clnic.....they r not going to ask me to compare campuses I chose.. I will appreciate if you will reply me soon...thanks a lot...

I think the # of school does not matter. I applied to 25 school, a few of which were just a waste of money. However I was a member of the 3.0 and under club, so I need to play the numbers, and it worked for me. Although, I received 5 invites, the two I attended mentioned nothing of the number or which other school that I applied to. It is not a big deal. Why should they care.
