Students and parents should aim for a list of 8 to 12 schools that you would be happy attending. Include a mix of reach schools, 'good matches,' and safety schools. But remember – apply only to as many schools as you can submit well-prepared applications for. You'll get better results by 
applying to 6 schools with applications that reflect 100 per cent of your best effort than you will by applying to 12 schools with applications reflect 50 per cent of your best effort.
