Applying to more schools doesn’t necessarily improve your chances. It is not mathematically equivalent to a lottery where the more tickets you buy the better the odds. Stick to the standard approach - reaches, matches and safeties. Make sure you like all the schools (safeties too!), 3 to 4 in each category and if you have some extra time and money apply to a couple more. If the 13 schools you’ve applied to already fit into this model you could stop now.
