Seriously, how many colleges should I apply to? I've heard everything from 3 to 15, and it's stressing me out! I want to maximize my chances but I don’t want to burn out or apply to a bunch of schools I'll forget about.
For context, I'm primarily looking at schools that match my stats but also have a couple of reach schools thrown in there. How did you all decide on your final list? Did you use any specific criteria or just go with your gut?
It would be great to hear what worked for you—how many applications felt right in the end? Thanks!
