What’s the magic number of schools to apply to?

Sure safety has a negative conotation but I think that was part of the point @417WHB was making. Don’t apply to schools you don’t really like just because you think you will definitely get in. If you are choosing a less rigorous/intense school for your own personality reasons that is fit and that’s great. If you apply to such a school as a “safety” but would not actually be happy there what’s the point?

This is exactly what I was trying to say, thank you!
