It was a battle to get my son to apply to four schools, and we aren’t even in the same state. I can’t imagine him or quite frankly anyone applying to so many schools.
I’d cut at least half, but if not, at least four or five. Do you genuinely want to go to all of those schools and do you think they can all provide an equally excellent education for your intended major? I question why so many schools, it seems like a major waste of time just for bragging rights, in all honesty.
