<p>Is seven schools a lot to apply to? Based on peers it seems like seven schools is a lot, but I feel like I could be applying to more. I loved Vanderbilt and ND seems like a great place too, but financial aid will be key. Can anyone recommend any fairly known schools that I could get substantial merit aid from with these stats? Any other thoughts and comments are appreciated!</p>
