At least for elite universities, you pretty much have to do that.

Yeah. It takes time to go through an application. How many applications do you think they would get if it was free? Come on man!

They may have really wanted to get in an Ivy. The ones I knew who applied to a lot flat out applied to all of them along with MIT, Caltech, and some safeties. They may also want to see who can give them a better offer.

I went to HS in texas, which allowed you to automatically be accepted to any public state university if you graduated in the top 10% of your class. Due to that, I really never experienced this whole anticipation and excitement of waiting for college acceptance. I didn't apply to any private schools or out of state schools. So it was just, "well, let me see which one gives me the most scholarships"

I applied to CU Boulder and CSU Fort Collins and got into Boulder as a transfer student. Still not sure why I never heard back one way or the other from CSU but I preferred Boulder anyways so I went there.
