I applied to 10 and regretted wasting the time and money.
I think 6 would have been a better number (2 safeties, 2 matches, 2 reaches).

I also agree with lgellar. If you live in a state with good publics, the rule of thumb is: don't apply to outside schools unless the quality is good enough to justify spending the extra money (this will ensure that the schools you do apply to are schools that are actually worth the investment).
