My original list included 14 schools, however, as time passed I remove two schools because their engineering programs did not fit my needs. Those schools were Princeton and UPenn. In the end, I ended up applying to 12 schools. I began writing essays in the summer before senior year to ensure I had enough time to write essays on different topics. Make sure to start early! I ended up being accepted to many top universities in my major.
