How Many Schools is Everybody Applying to?

Knowing how expensive is the whole application process, I was just wondering how many schools everybody will be applying or has already applied to. Also how many of those schools participate/participated in PharmCas...

I would really appreciate if you could give feedback on this because I am currently debating about how many schools I should apply to next year, because I want to have a good chance of getting in at least in some schools and not waste money on applications.

I applied to 4 schools this year:

1 Non-PharmCAS
3 PharmCAS (1 of which I didnt expect to get into, but wanted to get my pharmCAS money's worth 🙂 )

 

[jlpolla]

5 all thru PharmCAS

You don't want to go with one trust me, mails gets mixed up ,they dont receive your application on time or for some reason you miss the interview. 3 Pharmcas and at least one non pharmacas seems ideal.

After reading all these posts, I think I am going to apply to about 7 schools: 5 pharmcas and 2 nonpharmcas.

 

[LittleMissB]

I applied to 11 schools, 2 of which are non-PharmCAS. I designated 16 schools on PharmCAS. However when I started getting interview invitations I called it a quits after sending in my ninth supplemental.
