Selecting a college is a strategic process. The advantage of applying to 6-10 colleges as opposed to 2-3 is that there is an increased probability that some of the college responses may reveal financial assistance previously unknown to you. Additionally, it places you in a better position to negotiate between colleges based on a wider selection of financial aid packages. In many cases you will find that a private college with liberal gifting (free money) could end up costing less to attend than an in-state public college.
