What is a normal amount of schools to interview at? I've been invited to 5 but I feel like that will be too expensive and unreasonable. How many do most people go to?
 
I'm attending 4 out of 7. Realistically I can only afford 3 but the 4th school is in my state so I'm able to afford it by making it a day trip and not spending money on a plane ticket, hotel, car rental, etc.

I've read that most people will attend 2 or 3 interviews and then cancel the rest.
