<p>I was just wondering how many schools people usually apply to. I had planned to apply to 7 but I think I'll go with just 6 now because UMich is late in the rolling admission process anyway. </p>
<p>2 of my safety schools are rolling, so if something really horribly bad happens and I get rejected, I might wind up applying to more. I think between 6-8 is a good number of schools to apply to- not too many, but not too few that you'd have to fear getting straight rejection letters come April.</p>
