How many NP programs did you apply to?

How many NP programs did you apply to and what made you decide that was the right number? I'm debating whether I should apply to my two top choices or apply to four just in case. My cumulative gpa isn't spectacular at 3.4. I'm finishing up my RN to BSN classes in the next 2 to 3 months with my upper division classes being 4.0. I'm planning to take the GRE in the next few months so hopefully I will get a good score to be more competitive. Just trying to get a feel for what other nurses decided.

    Thanks for the info StephPghRN, BSN.

    Is there truly a maximum or minimum number of schools that a person should apply for? I live in Maryland and I plan on applying this Summer for MSN programs with the mental health track. I have an 3.61 undergrad GPA, with great references, and what I believe is a great personal statement.

    My 1st school of choice is UMKC they are affordable (all online students pay in state rates plus has a great repretation) with a few campus visits. 2nd & 3rd choices are University of VA & Shenandoah Uni, they have a great repretations and finds all preceptors for students but are traditional B&M institutions. Last is EKU, has an OK repretation, is 100% online, is affordable but doesn't help with preceptors at all. I have coworkers that attend Walden, which is a new for profit school (around less that 45 yrs) and never denies applicants, and doesn't help with preceptors.

    All of my schools of interest also have payment plans for students, so I can use financial aid, tuition assistance from work, and even scholarships; therefore I will not have to take any loans. Again thanks for the information everyone.

    Is it best to do the program online?
