3-5 per round seems like the sweet spot

Depends how focused your goals are and the odds of any given school. 5 per round is probably the upper limit for having high-quality apps, but I'd lower that as much as I could

6-7 but also applying to 5 via the consortium. Started working on essays in May which helped me apply to more schools

I'm putting in work for 2 M7s and shotgunning 5 or 6 T15s. Feel like with my background I don't need to waste too much time on T15s if I just play the numbers game

I’m looking at applying to MBA programs and know most have veteran/military programs and clubs that seem to offer help with the admissions process. These are obviously very competitive schools and I’d like to use any resource possible, but I can’t tell if these are only intended for people transitioning from active duty. I’ve only been in the Reserve (with a deployment) and have an established civilian career. Does anyone know if these groups would be receptive to me?

A serious question: all of my close friend's left india to US, EU for higher studies and are working there. I'm the only one left in my friend circle and everytime we have a video call, I really feel bad about myself as I'm still in India and they're in foreign with good living standards, earning more.

Im now 4 yoe, do you think doing MS worth it now, so that I can work in US/EU? What are other ways to move?
Note: I want to move to US/EU because of good standard of living.
