in 95-96 i applied to maybe 8 or 9 schools. I attended a public school with a fairly competitive magnet program. I was middle of the pack in that program, but when compared to the total school population I was high achiever (by no means top 10, though).
I paid application fees and test reporting fees out of pocket, and recall thinking I have to really pick carefully where I'm applying...this isn't free! It was easy to get carried away because we started doing online applications around that time - otherwise I probably would have applied to 15 schools.
random side note: I also recall friends who applied to ~30 schools just so they could SAY I was admitted to X, Y and Z... and I was awarded ____ in Scholarships. Some classmates (including my godbrother) were offered totals of close to $1M. I'm still salty a little bit about that. LOL.
