It's only my first try applying, but I ended up having to pick a completely different set of schools than originally planned (I thought I'd apply to 6 or even more schools, but due to the cost and different school prereq requirements I had to switch most of them out and then cut down to 4). LSU (my undergrad) and Colorado State are the only ones out of my original list that remain...and so far I'm already rejected from LSU. CSU is definitely my top choice school and I'd pick them in a heartbeat, but if not them I would gladly attend whatever school accepted me!
I agree with the points everyone has made...If I got accepted somewhere, I would NEVER turn it down for the sole reason of trying again for another school next cycle. That would be a risky waste of money so I don't really know who would do it, unless they had extenuating circumstances or realized they really don't want to attend the accepting school for one reason or another (like Gwen mentioned about expense). Maybe other people with better stats/more surefire chances of acceptance have done it, but I'm one of those in a position that it'll be tough enough to get an acceptance at all, so I wouldn't decline one just to gamble on the chance of getting in elsewhere
Along the lines of "don't apply to a school you wouldn't go to": I plan on applying to SGU, and my mom already thinks I should. But, I didn't want to do that this year because I feel like with my stats I'm more likely to get an interview there than anywhere else I've applied--I don't wanna apply there and end up having to decide whether or not to reject their acceptance just so I can try again for a US school, if that makes sense? I want to at least wait until my 2nd or 3rd application cycle to start applying Caribbean, because it would be way easier both travel and cost-wise to remain in the US, so I would not plan on actually going to SGU until I have exhausted my other options...cost/debt is a pretty important point to consider when picking where to attend.
