Given my GPA and my MCAT (check out MDApps) how many schools sound like a sane number? The list you see in my MDApps are just schools I'm thinking about; there is no way I'm going to apply to that many. Financially speaking, I've been saving some money for the app process and I'll also be working as an engineering intern at a biotech company over summer, so financially, I think I'm good. I want to get in my first time around but also don't want to overkill myself with secondaries and spend and excessive amount of money that I don't need to. So what sounds like a sane number? And what should my breakdown be in terms of the number of "reach" schools, "match" schools, and "safety" schools (even tho there really isn't such a thing as safety anymore)?
Thanks in advance and any feedback is greatly appreciated!
