[quote=Anonymous]I honestly think it really depends on your student and on how good the school counselors are at steering them in the right direction and managing expectations. If you have a kid who is wanting to apply to all T25 schools no matter what, then I really think you need more than 10 because those top stat kids are a dime a dozen and are all applying to the same schools.  Likewise if you are chasing merit, you need to cast a wide net b/c there is really a spread of what schools offer.  If you are able to come up with a really solid list that only has a couple reaches, several true targets and a couple likewise, then I think 10 is a very reasonable number. We are aiming for 12 schools.  We will be OOS for all of them (all larger public schools in the south) and DS is a very average student (3.9/30ACT/5APs).  We honestly have no idea what will happen at these schools and counselor agrees 12 is reasonable for him based on what is on his list. My nephew just finished the 2023 admissions process.  Applied to 8 schools, denied by 2, admitted to 4 and WL to 2.  Doesn't like the 4 he was admitted to and looking at his stats as the schools he applied to, he really did not get good feedback from school counseling and his parents are clueless so let him apply to random schools.
