How many colleges should I really be applying to?

I’m stressed about how many colleges to apply to. I’ve heard anywhere from 5 to 15, but it feels overwhelming! I want to be strategic, select schools that fit my goals, and not just throw applications everywhere.

What has worked for others? How do you know when you’ve hit the sweet spot without going crazy?
