D ended up applying to 14 schools (many the same as @Decal7 and others). She started with 10 then we panicked suddenly afraid they were too ambitious because they’re all pretty small schools and what if they all happen to reject her? So far she’s been accepted to 5 with no rejections (but the very selective ones are still to come). Ultimately she’s just deferred the hard decisions and we piled on by making her add some likely schools. Oh well. Live and learn.
