I've heard these stories about students getting accepted into a crazy number of colleges! Does anyone know what the world record for most college acceptances is? Just curious!
In terms of numbers, there have been cases of students getting admission to an incredibly high number of colleges. While it's not an official "world record" because there isn't an organization that officially tracks this kind of thing, one of the highest numbers reported in the news was a student from Louisiana who got accepted into 170 colleges in 2022. She also received more than 9 million USD in scholarship offers! However, remember that applying to many schools requires a lot of work and can also be costly, so it's often more beneficial to focus on a carefully selected list of schools where you'd genuinely like to attend. Always prioritize quality over quantity!
