How many schools should I apply to?

[RuffDay]

Hey everyone!

I was wondering how many schools should I apply to? I am thinking that I should apply to about 20 schools based on my stats.

These are my stats:
3.49 overall GPA
3.51 science GPA
3.44 BCP GPA
3.43 Nonscience GPA
DAT AA 21/ TS 22/ PAT 18

My extra curricular is pretty good in terms of leadership, volunteer, and work. The only bad thing is that I graduated already, and will have a gap year of zero education.

Please let me know what do y'all think!

~13 assuming you choose schools that are within your range. Add one or two if you have no state schools.

You don't need to apply to twenty schools lol, keep it 10-13

Keep the 20. It's better to have choices or a choice than none at all.

I have very similar GPA and DAT scores (21AA/22TS). I applied to 14 schools in June and just added another today.
