It's not too many if all of them tend to have low acceptance rates. At that point, it's just a safety margin. For example, the upper ivy leagues tend to have a ~10% acceptance rate. Even if you apply to a few safety schools to balance out the ratio, you still got to apply to enough places to have an expected number of admits exceed 1. Otherwise, you better hope you're really lucky.
