Depending on admission stats (assuming average acceptance OAT-330, 3.30 gpa), apply to four-five schools. I would interview at the top 2-3 schools and decide from there. Interview flights, hotel stays, and application fees can all add up!

I agree with this. Interview with your top choices first so you don't end up spending tons of money for travel and such.
