1所，每个人情况不同，不用考虑别人申请多少，想想自己的情况比较重要。

There is no general number.  I know people who apply to 1, 3, 5, or even 10+ schools.  Some do 3 in R1 and 3 in R2.  Some just try to secure something at an early decision type of program like Columbia or Duke.  Some just throw that big net and hope to catch many.

You need to figure out why you are applying to the schools (the positive vibe you get from the alumni?  know people there?  location?  curriculum?  teaching style? type of jobs/recruiting companies offered?  reputation?  ranking?  your chance of getting in?  your chance of securing a fellowship or loan there?........).  The bottom line is the school (whichever you end up going) should help your career...  your application strategy should have some "reaches" some "reasonable shots" and if you must go to school this year, perhaps 2 "safeties."

My reason of applying to the schools will be different from yours.  My "reaches" and "reasonable shots" will be different from yours.  The number of schools I am applying to will be different from yours.

Recommending not to prepare too many schools at the same time. 2-3 would be good.

我申请了11所
TOP 15 5所，TOP30 6所
其中TOP15里的ROSS是COPY PASTE DUKE的， TOP30里的OLIN,SIMON和MCCOMBS也是COPY PASTE为主。
其余都是花费很多精力专门为那学校写的。

根据申请情况决定第二轮申请数目

学校还是选人的。我DUKE根本连邀请面试的WAITLIST都不给，搞的我都没信心了

但同样的材料ROSS就给我面试邀请了。

所以，多投几所学校还是有好处的。
