Shotgunning helps the most with schools where you have a competitive profile. Sometimes it is hard to know how good your profile is...so you don't know where to aim.

Just one, to the only school he wanted to attend. Luckily he got in.
He was auto accepted to a safety school, which is where he would have gone if he did not get into his choice school.

2024
16 applications
2 safeties - accepted 2
5 targets - accepted 5
9 reaches - accepted 5, rejected 3, waitlisted 1
Attends an Ivy now.
In retrospect, too many applications.

What this tells me, if your goal is a selective reach, apply to at least 10 if not more reaches.
