How Many Colleges/Universities Should I Apply To?

If you have enough time and money to apply to about ten colleges, then I say go for it! But if you can only apply to a few, then you should aim for at least six. Two in each category: safety, reasonable and reach.
If, however, you feel extremely confident about two or three colleges in particular, you’ve been working on your application for a while now, and there’s a fairly reasonable chance of you getting in then you could just apply to those three.
But I would advise that you keep your options open while you still can: apply to as many places as is possible. Just make sure you don’t stress yourself out too much.
Good luck!
