I feel stupid asking this here, but my dad (and my brother) are making me feel like absolute crap saying this over and over again, especially now that it's sept. 30 and I've already submitted my VMCAS app and it's too late to add any more schools, but do you guys think applying to 8 schools is too few? They think I should apply to 15 at the least, and keep bringing it up, over and over again, and won't leave me alone. It's not that I'm a particularly bad applicant (I think I'm pretty average, actually), but since applying is such a crapshoot, they're of the opinion that the more, the better, despite the fact that most schools I didn't apply to accept very few out-of-staters anyway.
We had a person on the UF admissions board talk to our prevet club and he said the board actually thinks its a downside to see more than 10ish schools. Makes them think you dont care where you go and are just trying to apply to as many as possible and hope you get in one. Now I cant say this is the same for every school but just my experience.
