Well to be honest, I emailed probably 100 schools back in May and June and asked specific questions about their program, Class sizes, Cost, Acceptance Stats (gre, gpa, etc.) and did a follow up email to the schools that fit me and my gpa and needs. I narrowed it down to like 17 schools that I had a shot at getting accepted to. But now that I am applying, I think I have knocked it down to 10 schools. For me it was easier because of my GPA. I had to narrow my schools to those who look at your last 60 sem GPA since I had a 2.34GPA in my fisrt 2 years of school. But I was brutally honest in my follow up emails and asked if people with my stats and experience had been accepted at their schools this past year or 2 and I kept schools that DO accept people with my background and stats. Hope that helps!
