How many times did you apply before you got accepted?

Published

I thought it might help those of us on this board who are still trying, to find out how many times and/or how many programs you applied to before you got that acceptance letter? I've heard of people applying five years in a row to the same school.

If someone had to apply to the same school 5 times, then that program was pretty competitive or there were alot of students applying. I applied for the first time ever this Jan 2010 and to ONLY 1 university. I got accepted. I guess it depends on the numbers applying, your grades, etc...

I got in the first time I applied (from what I'm told, by the skin of my teeth). I only applied to one school. I start in the Fall.

The program I'm referring to got in excess of 1200 applications last year, to fill 100 seats.

Once for me. Last I heard, there were 100+ applicants vying for 50 seats.
