<p>How many schools should one apply to without losing one's head? (I know this is a wierd question, but just want opinions)</p>
<p>It really depends. Most say no more than 10 at the absolute most, but people go over that.</p>
<p>How ever many you want. If you really want options apply to 15-20 schools, if you just want a couple select schools apply to 5-10.</p>
<p>I would say the minimum should be around 5 like 1 safety 2 matches and 2 reaches. But if you could afford it, apply to as many as you want so you have many options.</p>
<p>I applied to 17 and found it very manageable due to the common application.</p>
