With applications opening around the corner. How many programs should I apply to?
Ive seen people apply to 25-30 + programs, and im not sure if that's fully normal. For context, I hit the stereotypical stats being in the top 10 % of my class and a 70+ cbse score.

You will get interviews at most of the places you apply with those stats as long as there is nothing terribly off with your application - you will not be able to reasonably attend all of them if you apply to 15+. My advice is to have a solid reason for applying and potentially wanting to go to each program. Location, scope, culture, proximity to family, city, whatever it is, make sure you could actually see yourself going there, don't add just to add.
