<p>I agree with happymomof1 & m2ck. Unless your parents have the money to pay, I would ditch some of those “safety” schools that may be unaffordable unless they offer big merit scholarships and you think you can be competitive for those.</p>
<p>If you were asking me <em>personally</em>, personally, I would ditch Peppperdine, Willamette and USC. The I would only apply to 3-4 UCs. Thirteen schools is a lot, but not an overwhelming amount.</p>
<p>I would say that 24 is too many.</p>
